Interviewer instructions

This question is asked only when the child’s vaccination card was not seen by the interviewer. This question specifies which vaccines we are interested in knowing if the child has had. With regard to the DTP vaccine, if the respondent says “YES” (that is, that the child has received this vaccine), probe to find out the total number of doses.
