Hello,

I have a question about how h3, h5 and h7 variables are created. In the DHS women's questionnaire, there are options for the interviewer to code '44' if the mother showed a vaccination card and there was an indication that the vaccine was received, but did not have a corresponding date. There is also an option for coding '66' for the day of the vaccination date if the mother indicated that the DPT vaccine was received but was not recorded on the card. How are these responses handled in calculating h3, h5 and h7 variables for DPT1-3? I am using a Coverage Evaluation Survey (CES) data set, which employs the same questionnaire format for vaccinations and would like to create variables identical to h3, h5 and h7 in DHS datasets. Thanks for any help,

John
