NOTE: * Percentage of children who received at least one dose in 2005 is the most recent coverage point to the time of reporting, often therefore the coverage achieved in the last six months of the year.** Percentage of children reached with two doses in 2005 is estimated by assuming 100% overlap between two doses of vitamin A, and is therefore reported as the lower of two coverage points. "0" indicates that only one dose was delivered in 2005. w - Identifies countries with national vitamin A supplementation programs targeted to a reduced age range. Coverage figure is reported as targeted. e - Exclude China | |||
