Socio-Demographic and Economic Factors Affecting Vitamin A Supplementation among Children in Yaqshid District Somalia

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Vitamin A supplementation is one of the robust interventions for vitamin A deficiency in developing and middle-income countries. However, despite the rollout of VAS over the last three decades, the uptake of vitamin A supplements in some countries including Somalia is still significantly low. There is therefore a need to understand the deterrent of the VAS program.
