Yes: It is OK but the Vitamin C Council recommends 1000 iu of D3/day for infants and 1000 iu per 11 kg of body weight for older children, so most 2 year olds may benefit from doses of at least 1000 iu/day. See https://www.vitamindcouncil.org/about-vitamin-d/how-do-i-get-the-vitamin-d-my-body-needs/
