Newborn infants receive a single injection of vitamin K at birth due to the fact that babies are born with low levels of this vitamin in their body. Parents are usually asked if they wish this injection to be administered to their child or not.
Vitamin K deficiency in newborn infants is treated and prevented with a single injection of phylloquinone (5 mg).
