A17. A prophylactic (preventive) dose of Vitamin A supplementation should be given to all children in the age group of 9-36 months at 6 monthly intervals. However, children between 3-5 years can also be given Vitamin A supplementation at 6 monthly intervals. Ideally, a child should have received the complete 5 doses of VA by the age of 3 years.
