Vitamin A (2nd to 9th dose)

The 2nd to 9th doses of Vitamin A are administered every 6 months from 18 months of age through 5 years. These supplements are crucial for preventing Vitamin A deficiency, which can impair vision and immune function. Regular doses help reduce the incidence of severe infections, diarrhea, and blindness in young children. Vitamin A supplementation is a vital public health intervention to improve overall child health and survival, particularly in underdeveloped regions.
