A population-based survey was used to assess childhood and maternal vitamin A capsule coverage in Malawi and to investigate missed opportunities for capsule distribution. Overall, 9.3% of children had received vitamin A supplementation in the previous 6 months. Missed opportunities for receiving vitamin A were high in younger children. Fifty-five percent of mothers were covered in 8 villages served by volunteers and 23% in the 58 villages without volunteers. Existing strategies need to be redesigned and new strategies defined. For instance, mothers could receive supplementation during infant BCG vaccination, and children could receive initial supplementation during measles vaccination. Village health volunteers could be used to target children over 2 years of age.
一项基于人群的调查被用于评估马拉维儿童和母亲的维生素A胶囊覆盖情况，并调查胶囊分发过程中错失的机会。总体而言，9.3%的儿童在过去6个月内接受了维生素A补充剂。年龄较小的儿童中，错失接受维生素A补充剂的机会很高。在由志愿者服务的8个村庄中，55%的母亲得到了覆盖，而在没有志愿者的58个村庄中，这一比例为23%。现有的策略需要重新设计，新的策略也需要确定。例如，母亲可以在婴儿接种卡介苗时接受补充剂，儿童可以在接种麻疹疫苗时接受初次补充剂。乡村健康志愿者可以针对2岁以上的儿童。
