injection vitamin K intramuscular/ Intramuscular (IM) vitamin K providing to newborn 2023

VKDB is a considerable risk to neonates. It can be avoided practically
totally by Vitamin K administration right after birth. A single dosage of
intramuscular Vitamin K works in the avoidance of timeless VKDB and in
ameliorating late VKDB. Hence, Vitamin K prophylaxis would avoid morbidity and
death due to bleeding in neonates.

Birth weight 1000 gm or more: 1 mg
Birth weight less than 1000 gm: 0.5 mg
