Vitamin D in blood is like 50 nano grams per liter.

Vitamin D in say Tuna is like 20 micro grams per 100g

So to get same amount of Vitamin D from a can of tuna the vampire needs to drink 4000 L or 1057 gallons of blood

Average human body contains about 5 L/1.3gallons

So to put it in perspective the vampire needs to suck dry about 800 people to get the same Vitamin D as he would by eating a can of tuna or a few eggs

You assume a vampire needs as much of the D as you or me



Do bats need vitamin D?

Most bats, especially nocturnal ones that roost in dark places, have low vitamin D levels because they lack exposure to sunlight and often consume diets low in vitamin D.

You missed the entire point. (Because ofc you have)
Op entire argument was that vampires rely on blood for vitamin D. Which is a ridiculous notion after I demonstrated it's like squeezing water out of a rock. Even if hypothetically vampires required smaller amount than humans then it would still be incredibly inefficient source for vitamin D.
