Objectives: To determine if there is an association between vitamin A supplementation and the presence of symptoms of acute respiratory infections among children aged 6 to 59 months. Methods: Secondary data analysis from the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), from 2016 and 2017; cross-sectional study. The outcome of interest was the presence of acute respiratory infections in the last 14 days, reported by the mother, and the exposure variable was the supplementation of at least one dose of vitamin A, according the vaccination card´s information or mother´s report. Results: Data of 17668 records was analyzed; information include women with a mean age of 31.6 (SD: 10.4) and their children had a mean of 30.1 (SD: 16.9) months. The proportion of children who received Vitamin A supplementation was 40.7% (95% CI: 39.9% - 41.4%), whereas the proportion of children who reported symptoms compatible with acute respiratory infections was 33.8% (95% CI: 33.1% - 34.5%). Adjusted for potential confounders, no significant association was found between Vitamin A supplementation and symptoms of acute respiratory infections (PR = 0.99; 95% CI 0.95 – 1.04). Conclusion: Receiving vitamin A supplementation was not associated with acute respiratory infections among children aged 5 to 59 months.
