The Effect of 50 000 IU Vitamin A with BCG Vaccine at Birth on Growth in the First Year of Life
Vitamin A supplements may interact with diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine causing increased female mortality. In a randomised trial of neonatal vitamin A supplementation (VAS), we examined growth during the first year of life in 808 children, pursuing the hypothesis that a negative interact...
