It's not a prescription drug, so I'm not really sure what 'self-medication' means; I self-medicate with caffeine, might eat an orange and self-medicate vit C later, etc.

NHS (UK) guidance:

> Government advice is that everyone should consider taking a daily vitamin D supplement during the autumn and winter.

> People at high risk of not getting enough vitamin D, all children aged 1 to 4, and all babies (unless they're having more than 500ml of infant formula a day) should take a daily supplement throughout the year.

(People at high risk = for example darker skin, or indoor jobs.)
