Dear all,

Please, I have worked on a study which the outcome was age-appropriate vaccination. I have consulted this forum widely and also the DHS site below

https://dhsprogram.com/data/Guide-to-DHS-Statistics/Vaccinat ion.htm

The codes I used are written below. However, there has been back and forth comments if the codes are correct to derive age-appropriate vaccination, rather it seems the codes are for complete vaccination.

Please is the below code correct for age-appropriate vaccination? or is it for complete vaccination? If my codes are wrong, then what is the right way to get age-appropriate vaccination, and if codes are correct, how do I derive complete vaccination. This clarification is highly needed to conclude this multi-country study.

KINDLY ASSIST.

Thank you all.
