Hello,

We do not code this indicator as partially or completely vaccinate. However you could do that if you wish. What confuses me in your code is giving the value zero to those who were vaccinated and 1 to those who are not. I would code it this way:

recode m1 (0 8 9 . =0 "NotVaccinated") (1=2 "PartiallyVaccinated") (2/7=1 "CompletelyVaccinated"), gen (TetanusVaccination)


Best,
