Dear User,
Are you using weighted or unweighted data? Most of the tables in our final reports show the weighted results. You may also want to take a look at The Guide to DHS Statistics which can be downloaded from our website http:// www.dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-dhsg1-dhs-questi onnaires-and-manuals.cfm Page 109 goes over Vaccination Rates and how the calculations are done. You may also want to review the section on our website about Using Data for Analysis http://www.dhsprogram.com/data/Using-Datasets-for-Analysis.c fm. The Standard Recode Manual is another valuable resource http:// www.dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-DHSG4-DHS-Questi onnaires-and-Manuals.cfm
The KIR file is fine for analyzing vaccination data for children. You may also want to check out this post http:// userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.php?t=msg&th=4425&got o=8435&S=eb3afd6862234f02e7c9fe9f3d94153f#msg_8435
Thank you!
