Vitamin-A Plus campaign postponed

Staff Correspondent: The government has postponed the National Vitamin-A Plus campaign.

Dr Gazi Ahmed Hasan, Medical Officer of the Institute of Public Health Nutrition confirmed the matter to risingbd.com on Friday.

“The campaign declared postponed due to some ‘unavoidable’ reasons. The new date for the campaign will be held soon,” he said. 

The campaign was supposed to be held across the country on Saturday to provide Vitamin A-Plus capsules to all children aged from six to 59 months.

Children, aged between six and 11 months, are to be given blue-coloured high-powered Vitamin A capsules while those aged between 12 and 59 months, receive red-coloured ones during the campaign.
