Dear Sir,

Thank you so much. Please i would want to find out if I do ''tab b5 and any variable and i get something like this

tab b5 pn1

| received
child is | pneumococcal-1
alive | no yes | Total
-----------+----------------------+----------
yes | 2,033 3,482 | 5,515
-----------+----------------------+----------
Total | 2,033 3,482 | 5,515


Please does it mean for immunization status or specifically on the pneumococcal vaccine 1, it contains only information on children who were alive at the time of the survey since only yes appear under child is alive? and 2. if the total is not up to 5,595 (number of children who were alive), for instance in the above example where the total is 5,515, can we attribute 80 (5,595-5,515) as missing? and 3.Please can i apply the above responses (1 and 2) you will give to all variables? Thanks

Best regards,

Mustapha Immurana
