Good coverage achieved. Need to fulfil commitments. Present coverage is inadequate, but these countries have made plans to add vitamin A to NIDs and special campaigns in 1999. However, unless these countries follow through on these commitments, supplementation coverage would not be expected to improve and the World Summit goal will not be achieved. Major push needed.
Present coverage is inadequate through routine systems.
Vitamin A supplementation is not added to NIDs or other campaigns, nor have any plans been made to do so. It is unlikely that the World Summit goal will be met in the near future in these countries. No problem or no data. Vitamin A deficiency is either not a public health problem or no data exist to show it is a problem. No large-scale action is being taken.
