Tot mai mulți părinți americani refuză vitamina K pentru nou-născuți

In the U.S., the rate of newborns not receiving vitamin K injections has increased significantly, raising concerns among medical professionals about potential health risks. A study revealed that 8.1% of newborns did not receive the injection in June 2026, up from 5.2% six months prior. Vitamin K is crucial for blood clotting, and its deficiency can lead to severe hemorrhages in infants. The CDC warns that unvaccinated infants face an 81-fold higher risk of life-threatening bleeding. The trend of refusing vitamin K injections correlates with growing distrust in vaccines and preventive measures. Medical authorities are actively providing information to parents about the importance of vitamin K.
