The vitamin a supplement which is given with routine vaccination comes in the form of syrup. But the availability of the syrup is scarce. Vitamin a capsule (aquasol) maybe given. But the child will not be able to swallow the capsule. Hence, a hole maybe made with a clean pin, and the drops in the capsule maybe poured directly into the child's mouth. A child above 1 year of age will require 2 lakh iu. Aquasol capsule comes with the dosage of 25000 iu. Hence the child will require 8 capsules in total. They may be given successively at 10-15 minutes interval on a single day.
