Talk to Patients about Vitamin A and Measles
The recent measles outbreak is stirring up discussions about vitamin A for both prevention and treatment. Providers need to be prepared to discuss this. Our NatMed article explains that vitamin A should be considered in measles treatment, but not prevention. We discuss the available evidence, noting that most studies evaluating vitamin A for prevention have been conducted in countries where kids are at high risk for deficiency. Providers should continue to advise vaccination.
