If his red blood cell count isn't low, then it's less likely that his low white blood cell count is due to vitamin deficiency, so taking vitamins probably won't help. There's no harm, though, in taking these supplements. You may know that some people also take iron supplements to boost their blood counts. A lack of iron isn't uncommon, but similar to folate and B12 deficiencies, it would be very unusual to have a low white blood cell count with a normal red blood cell count.
