Hello,

You appear to be using the wrong data file. You should use the KR file and not the IR file since the unit of analysis is the child not the woman.

So you would only use B19 and B5 variables in the KR file. Selecting the cases as you have done with these two variables will get you a match after apply weights.

For any indicator listed in the Guide to DHS Statistics, you can also check our standardized code hosted on the GitHub site: https://github.com/DHSProgram
The code is available in SPSS and Stata. For vaccination this is chapter 10. Please read the readme file and the main file for chapter before running any code.

Thank you.

Best,
Shireen Assaf
