A couple of clarifications from Senior DHS Staff Member, Guillermo Rojas:

• Question Q513A is asked to mothers that reported that the child didn't have a vaccination card or other document with vaccines registered. This question is taken into consideration in tables reporting vaccinations for this and other vaccines registered in questions Q513A to Q524A.
• If the child has a vaccination card or other document, the information is taken from Q508A and questions Q513A to Q524A are skipped. In this case as vaccines are registered in the card/document, essentially interviewers copy the data from the card/document to the questionnaire. We check the dates at secondary editing time with the date of birth (in this case just month and year), but we trust the data registered. In CAPI (this survey wasn't CAPI) we check dates at data collection and secondary editing times. In other words, if the date is registered in the card, we report that the vaccine was given.
