Vitamin A Supplementation (VAS) remains a vital child-survival intervention that significantly reduces mortality in vitamin A–deficient populations. Global VAS coverage initially peaked at 78% in 2009, dropped to 41% in 2020 due to pandemic disruptions, but recovered to the same high level in the years that followed.

By 2024, over 50 million children (6–59 months) received two VAS doses. However, coverage remains unevenly distributed within and between countries, with several countries consistent posting very low coverage, highlighting persistent system and equity challenges.

Four VINA countries are implementing special studies on gender and VAS.
