Interviewer instructions

These question (Q6517-Q6518) is to be asked only in countries where supplementation programmes exist. Vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of preventable childhood blindness, as well as a major contributing factor to the severity of several other causes of childhood morbidity and mortality. Deficiency in this crucial micronutrient can be avoided by giving children supplements of vitamin A capsule, usually every six months. This two questions ask respondents whether the child has ever received vitamin A supplementation in the last 12 months, and if so how many dose. If there is confusion, the interviewer should show the respondent a sample of vitamin A capsule.
