In the present study the investigators wish to address the effects of different doses of
vitamin A supplementation in low and normal birth weight infants.
Hypotheses:
- Vitamin A supplementation administered at birth together with BCG vaccination is
associated with a 30% reduction in infant mortality and morbidity during the first year
of life in both normal and low birth weight infants.
- A lower dose of vitamin A may be even more beneficial than a high dose.
