Vitamin K Shot At Birth Pros And Cons

Since 1961, the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/vitamink/faqs.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">American Academy of Pediatrics</a> has recommended giving vitamin K shots to newborns to prevent the risk of Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB). Giving the shot right after birth can reduce the risk of life-threatening internal bleeding, occurring anytime between 0 and 6 months in infants. According to experts, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9184874/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">one out of five babies</a> with VKDB die because of the condition. Two out of every five survivors end up with long-term neurological damage. VKDB may also lead to motor skill defects, cognitive issues, and organ failures in surviving children. <a href="https://medium.com/gene-talk/vitamin-k-shot-at-birth-pros-and-cons-f15814f0c575">Visit Now</a>
