Hello! For my query, I've had a search of the forum and have asked colleagues, to no avail.

I am assessing birth dose vaccination rates in children in a DHS-V dataset, and I need to know the specific day of birth in order to calculate this.
One of the outcomes of my analysis involves checking for delays in the birth dose from the birth, thus I need the exact D.O.B. rather than just the Month and Year (B1, B2, B3).

Apologies again, if this is a stupid question! Any help will be appreciated!

Thank you.

Unfortunately pre-DHS VII surveys did not collect that information, so the variable does not exist. In the DHS VII surveys you can find the information in B17 Day of Birth.

Thank you for the reply - It's as I thought, but I wanted to just make sure.
