Abstract
In Poland in 2016 routine vitamin K prophylaxis is recommended by the National Consultant in the field of Pediatrics and the Polish Paediatric Society. All newborn infants should receive vitamin K prophylaxis. Healthy newborn infants should receive as a single dose 1 mg of vitamin K1 by intramuscular injection (birthweight greater than 1500 g), within the first 6 h after birth. Vitamin K1 should be also given as a single intramuscular dose of 0.5 mg to all newborns with birthweight 1500 g or less.
