Vitamin A (1st dose)

The 1st dose of Vitamin A is administered to infants at 9 months of age to prevent Vitamin A deficiency, which can lead to vision problems, weakened immunity, and increased susceptibility to infections. This dose is vital for supporting a child's overall health and development, ensuring strong immune function and eye health. Regular supplementation with Vitamin A is essential in reducing childhood mortality and improving nutrition, especially in regions where deficiency is common.
