Literal question
Has (name) ever received a Measles injection or an MMR injection - that is, a shot in the arm at the age of 9 months or older - to prevent him/her from getting measles?
Interviewer instructions
Questions IM6 through IM17 are asked only to mothers/primary caretakers of children who do not have vaccination cards, or those children for whom vaccination cards were not shown. Survey Coordinators: Measles vaccine is normally given as an injection in the arm at the age of 9 months. In some countries, some children may receive it as an injection in the thigh. In some countries, measles vaccine is administered at 12 or 15 months of age. The appropriate age for and location of the injection should be adapted to the recommendations for the measles vaccination in your country. Circle the code corresponding to the response. If the caretaker specifically mentions measles vaccine but refers to an injection in the thigh, accept the answer as valid and circle '1' for 'Yes'.
