Thanks very much for sharing your code.
I ran your code, but it still shows that only 26.1% of children aged 12 and 23 received the first dose of DPT and 73.1% did not receive it. (I attached the result)
My concern is that this is a totally different result from the final report. The report says 92.1% received it.
I also tried it with individual recode (zmir51fl.dta) using a slightly different coding, but the result is the same.
I wonder whether there are errors in the data.


. svy: tab DPT1, percent format(%4.1f) col
(running tabulate on estimation sample)

Number of strata = 18 Number of obs = 1,266
Number of PSUs = 302 Population size = 1,272.2038
Design df = 284

----------------------
DPT1 | column
----------+-----------
No | 73.9
Yes | 26.1
|
Total | 100.0
----------------------
Key: column = column percentage
