Dear Sir/Madam,

I am working on RWKR70 file and received the measle vaccine coverage among 12-23 months children at 44%. However, it was around 90% in report. Could you kindly enlighten me? I am using this code.

gen wgt=v005/1000000
svyset [pweight=wgt],psu(v021)strata(v023)
svydescribe

. svy: prop mea1, over(childagegp)
(running proportion on estimation sample)

Survey: Proportion estimation

Number of strata = 60 Number of obs = 7,540
Number of PSUs = 492 Population size = 7,676.8237
Design df = 432

no: mea1 = no
yes: mea1 = yes

_subpop_1: childagegp = < 6 months
_subpop_2: childagegp = 6-11 months
_subpop_3: childagegp = 12-23 months
_subpop_4: childagegp = 24-35 months
_subpop_5: childagegp = 36-47 months
_subpop_6: childagegp = 48-60 months

Linearized Logit
Over Proportion Std. Err. [95% Conf. Interval]

no
_subpop_1 1 . . .
_subpop_2 .9822533 .0042009 .9718044 .9888743
_subpop_3 .5574378 .0155779 .5266399 .5878002
_subpop_4 .5614463 .0156153 .5305584 .5918653
_subpop_5 .6489286 .0155921 .6177042 .6789283
_subpop_6 .6479457 .0154389 .6170384 .6776617

yes
_subpop_1 0 (no observations)
_subpop_2 .0177467 .0042009 .0111257 .0281956
_subpop_3 .4425622 .0155779 .4121998 .4733601
_subpop_4 .4385537 .0156153 .4081347 .4694416
_subpop_5 .3510714 .0155921 .3210717 .3822958
_subpop_6 .3520543 .0154389 .3223383 .3829616

Thank you in advance.

Your code does not show how you construct mea1, which is probably where the problem exists. Note the footnote that shows it is a combination of the measles only vaccine and the measles and rubella vaccine.
