Questions and instructions
Literal question
Day of OPV2 immunization?
Interviewer instructions
You will complete this question when the respondent shows you the vaccination card for
the child:
- Copy the dates in the spaces provided for this type of immunization recorded on the card
or document.
- If the card shows that a vaccination was administered but the date is not specified, write
'44' in the day column, leave the month and year columns blank.

Remember that vaccines may be listed on the card in a different order than the one that
appears on the questionnaire. Be sure to check the card carefully because sometimes the
month may be listed first, sometimes the day. Be careful to record the dates correctly.

Besides recording vaccination dates on the card, some health facilities may also record the
dates (appointments) on children should be brought for their next immunizations. Be very
careful not to record a scheduled appointment date as a vaccination date. It is possible that
an appointment date was given, but the child never received the vaccination. Only record
dates that vaccinations were actually given, and not date of appointments. Be patient and
read the card thoroughly. It is very important that you copy the information on administered
vaccinations on the card to the questionnaire accurately.
