Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

Like all the other immunizations, h54_* in the IR file refers to all children born in the past five years, up to 6 children. It will be better to use the KR file, in which children are units and the variables are h54, h55, and h56, for pneumococcal 1, 2, 3, respectively. In that file you could construct a variable that is I if the child received all three, and 0 otherwise. I recommend that you read the section on immunizations in the Guide to DHS Statistics, which is on the website. Let us know if you still have trouble.
