Interviewer instructions

This question is asked only when the child’s vaccination card was seen by the interviewer. Sometimes a child will receive a vaccination but no record of it is made on the health card. After copying the card, the interviewer should ask whether the child received a vaccination for measles that is not recorded. If the child did so, the interviewer should write “YES”. After this question the interviewer has to go to question 6517.
