I have replicated your CH_VAC.R file in the GitHub ( https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-R/blob/main/Cha p10_CH/CH_VAC.R), which is helpful for my research project.
However, I need your advice on the following;
1. I noticed that Angola's KR file does not have the variable "KRdata$h54" for Pneumococcal vaccines but rather h2d, h2m and h2y.
These codes are the same for the Pneumococcal vaccination 1,2,& 3.
Apparently I used h2 for PCV1, h2y for both PVC2 & PVC3
Please is this right?

2. Does the "#Total" variable, created in the Excel sheet represent the coverage for each vaccine or do I have to calculate it?
Please how do I calculate it, if I am supposed to?

3. Is it appropriate to use the "KRhw" variables to calculate the stunt and wast indicators for each SSA country?
Please let me know how to proceed

4. I also have to calculate the following indicators; "Exclusive Breastfeeding", "wealth index" and educational level.
Please are there variables in the KR file that will help me calculate those indicators or do I have to use a different file?

5. I will do logistic regression, multivariate regression, Propensity and Forest. Is it appropriate to use the "#Total" variable in the Excel table to calculate these variables?

Please permit me, because I am trying to understand DHS data and R programming language.
Thank you
