Vitamin A plays an important role in the health and comprehensive development of children. Every year, the Ministry of Health organizes a campaign to supplement high doses of vitamin A for more than 6 million children aged 6-54 months nationwide (there are 2 rounds each year: round 1 in June; and round 2 in December).

In these campaigns, children of the age group were given high-dose vitamin A capsules.

In recent times, vitamin A supplementation campaigns have helped Vietnam eliminate blindness due to vitamin A deficiency in 2000, which is a tremendous achievement.

In 2023, the Ministry of Health will organize the first Vitamin A supplementation campaign for children starting on International Children's Day, June 1, which is also Micronutrient Day.

The campaign will be held nationwide, in which in 22 disadvantaged mountainous provinces, each child aged 6-59 months will receive 1 dose of vitamin A, children aged 24-59 months will receive periodic deworming; in the remaining 41 provinces and cities, children aged 6-35 months will receive 1 dose of vitamin A.
