Description

For sample children under 6 years old (in 1992-1996) and sample children under 18 years old (1997-2003) who have an immunization record and who have at least one Measles - Mumps - Rubella (MMR) shot on their record, IMRMMRY1 reports the year when the person received his or her first MMR shot.

Users should combine IMRMMRY1 with IMRMMRDA1 and IMRMMRMO1, which reports the day and month of the person's first MMR shot, in order to get the complete date when the person received his or her first MMR shot.
