Hi Bridgette,

Thanks for the response. My question is: do the weights take into account the size AND the type of the facility? For example, if I look at the variable in Facility (FC) dataset, and I see the variable q1008 'refrigeration observed' in the facility (1/2 for 0/1 respectively), will the existence of refrigeration in a provincial hospital count for the same as the existence of refrigeration in a health clinic? If not, what will be the difference, and how is the weight therefore calculated? Is it weighted by the number of beds in the facility for example? Or the capacity of staff? If neither, how would DHS recommend to deal with this question when thinking about vaccine refrigeration capacity?

Looking forward to your response.
