Original Note:
Vitamin K injection in newborns prevents cerebral hemorrhage and death. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0887899414001416 https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/vitamink/facts.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_K_deficiency_bleeding An injection at birth is the safest way to ensure the baby has sufficient vitamin K. Oral vitamin K is often not sufficient. https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/vitamin-k-and-newborn-babies
