Dear Users, For the NFHS 5 Children's recode on Child Health data I have used the code shared by Shireen and it worked well. However, it is not matching with National report (76.4%). The created estimate is 61.6%. Please help. Code given below!

`* Source of vaccination information. We need this variable to code vaccination indicators by source. recode h1 (1=1 "card") (else=2 "mother"), gen(source)

*** BCG *** //BCG either source recode h2 (1 2 3=1) (else=0), gen(ch_bcg_either)

//BCG mother's report gen ch_bcg_moth=ch_bcg_either replace ch_bcg_moth=0 if source==1

//BCG by card gen ch_bcg_card=ch_bcg_either replace ch_bcg_card=0 if source==2

label var ch_bcg_card "BCG vaccination according to card" label var ch_bcg_moth "BCG vaccination according to mother" label var ch_bcg_either "BCG vaccination according to either source"

*** Pentavalent *** //DPT 1, 2, 3 either source recode h3 (1 2 3=1) (else=0), gen(dpt1) recode h5 (1 2 3=1) (else=0), gen(dpt2) recode h7 (1 2 3=1) (else=0), gen(dpt3) gen dptsum= dpt1+dpt2+dpt3

• this step is performed for multi-dose vaccines to take care of any gaps in the vaccination history. See DHS guide to statistics
• for further explanation gen ch_pent1_either=dptsum>=1 gen ch_pent2_either=dptsum>=2 gen ch_pent3_either=dptsum>=3

//DPT 1, 2, 3 mother's report gen ch_pent1_moth=ch_pent1_either replace ch_pent1_moth=0 if source==1

gen ch_pent2_moth=ch_pent2_either replace ch_pent2_moth=0 if source==1

gen ch_pent3_moth=ch_pent3_either replace ch_pent3_moth=0 if source==1

//DPT 1, 2, 3 by card gen ch_pent1_card=ch_pent1_either replace ch_pent1_card=0 if source==2

gen ch_pent2_card=ch_pent2_either replace ch_pent2_card=0 if source==2

gen ch_pent3_card=ch_pent3_either replace ch_pent3_card=0 if source==2

drop dpt1 dpt2 dpt3 dptsum

label var ch_pent1_card "Pentavalent 1st dose vaccination according to card" label var ch_pent1_moth "Pentavalent 1st dose vaccination according to mother" label var ch_pent1_either "Pentavalent 1st dose vaccination according to either source" label var ch_pent2_card "Pentavalent 2nd dose vaccination according to card" label var ch_pent2_moth "Pentavalent 2nd dose vaccination according to mother" label var ch_pent2_either "Pentavalent 2nd dose vaccination according to either source" label var ch_pent3_card "Pentavalent 3rd dose vaccination according to card" label var ch_pent3_moth "Pentavalent 3rd dose vaccination according to mother" label var ch_pent3_either "Pentavalent 3rd dose vaccination according to either source"

*** Polio ***

//polio 0, 1, 2, 3 either source recode h0 (1 2 3=1) (else=0), gen(ch_polio0_either)

recode h4 (1 2 3=1) (else=0), gen(polio1) recode h6 (1 2 3=1) (else=0), gen(polio2) recode h8 (1 2 3=1) (else=0), gen(polio3) gen poliosum=polio1 + polio2 + polio3

• this step is performed for multi-dose vaccines to take care of any gaps in the vaccination history. See DHS guide to statistics
• for further explanation gen ch_polio1_either=poliosum>=1 gen ch_polio2_either=poliosum>=2 gen ch_polio3_either=poliosum>=3
