For the upcoming federal version of NepalMap, we would like to present data on measles/rubella vaccination rates for children ages 12-23 months. These data are available in Table 10.3 on page 212 of the Nepal Demographic and Health Survey of 2016 (PDF here). Extract the data from Table 10.3 so that it is in a csv that conforms to the following specifications:

  • It should have three columns: province, bcg vaccine received, total
  • The columns should be separated by commas
  • The headers should be the first row in the CSV
  • The "bcg vaccine received" options should be "YES", "NO"
  • The "total" should be the number of children age 12-23 months in a province whose parents were surveyed and reported that they have received the measles/rubella vaccine. In other words, the percent statistics in the table should be converted to raw numbers. Percents should be rounded with a sensible strategy. Totals after rounding should match the total in the first "Number of children" column in Table 10.3. For example, if there are 100 total children age 12-23 months in Province 1 and 50.1% of the children have received the measles/rubella vaccine, then there should be a row that looks like this: "Province 1,YES,50". Please note that the number of children who have received no measles/rubella vaccine will need to be inferred from the percentage of children who have received it. Please note that there are TWO "number of children" columns. You should use the first "number of children" column (16th column overall) because it is the one that is for children ages 12-23 months. The last column in the table is NOT the one to use because it is for older children.
  • The file should be named "measles_rubella_vaccination_twelve_to_twenty_three_months.csv"
  • The file should be placed in the directory "Federal Data/Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2016"
