Description

For sample children under 6 years old who have an immunization record and who have at least five DTP vaccines on their record, IMRDTPDA5 reports the day when the person received his/her fifth DTP vaccine. DTP shots are sometimes called diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis shots, baby shots, or three-in-one-shots.

Users should combine IMRDTPDA5 with IMRDTPMO5 and IMRDTPY5, which report the month and year when the person received his/her fifth DTP vaccine.

Users are strongly encouraged to visit the Universe tab for more information on changes in the universe across surveyed years.
