I am finding it extremely difficult to get the current age of children from the 2018 Nigeria DHS. It is coded from B8$01 to B8$20.
The same applies to the information on vaccination, for instance data on whether a child received DPT3 is coded H7$1 to H7$6. Please how do I go about it?

Dear User, response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Albert Themme:

Bxx variables belongs to the birth history and there can be up to 20 births per woman. The Hxx variables belong to children born in the 5 years before the survey, so there can only be up to 6 per woman.
