Hello, i'm currently working on a project to find out the determinants of timely hepatitis b0 (birth dose) vaccination in indonesia. I want to ask about the report of the 2017 DHS report in indonesia. in table 10.2 (vaccination by source of information), there is a percentage of hepatitis B birth dose. Moreover, in Indonesian reports there are two categories (picture of the table attached):
1. 0 days (at birth) and
2. more than 1 day after birth
I want to know how is it measured, because I don't see any special variables that ask about the time (hours) of the hepatitis b0 immunization. Does the measurement use the date of birth and immunization date stated on the immunization card? What is the standard?
Thankyou

Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Good question. It is definitely intended that the interval will be the first 24 hours after birth. This applies to other outcomes, most importantly age at death, for which "day 0" should also be "within 24 hours after birth". I suspect there is some slippage, and some responses, at least, are given as "the same day", but that is not the intention. Of course, "the same day" would also be "within 24 hours"--but some of the next day would also be within 24 hours.
There is a question about time to the initiation of breastfeeding (https://www.ghspjournal.org/content/9/2/308) which is given explicitly in hours.
