Hospital staff must be informed, in advance, of your needs, wants and desires where your baby and birthing experience are concerned. The same applies to midwives. Steps:

Vitamin K Injection... The prescribing information on Vitamin K shot states that fatalities are an adverse reaction according to the Merck pharmaceutical package insert. http://fdb.rxlist.com/drugs/drug-9003-Aqua-Mephyton+Inj.aspx?drugid=9003&drugname=Aqua-Mephyton+Inj "The injectable form of vitamin K can rarely cause severe (sometimes fatal) allergic reactions when given by injection into a muscle or vein. Therefore, vitamin K should be injected into a muscle or vein only when it cannot be given by injection under the skin or taken by mouth, or when your doctor has judged that the benefit is greater than the risk. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or trouble breathing."Potential exists for the newborn to experience hypersensitivity to any component of this medication. Each milliliter contains: Phytonadione ............. 2 mg or 10 mg Inactive ingredients: Polyoxyethylated fatty acid derivative ................... 70 mg Dextrose...................................................................... 37.5 mg Water for Injection, q.s. .................................................. 1 mL Added as preservative: Benzyl alcohol ...................... 0.9% Links to prescribing information for Vitamin K: http://vaclib.org/chapter/inserts.htm#vitK Archive: Year 2002 Merck Vitamin K Package Insert - Aquamephyton PI | posted on Scribd Alternatives to Vitamin K Prophylaxis... Although oral vitamin K is not licensed for use as a drug by the FDA, drops for oral administration are available. Typically, one drop contains 2 mg. of vitamin K. Contact a midwife in your area, or a birthing supply company (such as birthwithlove.com), or Scientific Botanicals (206 527-5521) where your health care provider can order liquid vitamin K directly. Here's another much safer alternative that your chiropractor or naturopath can order for you. Or order directly from Amazon.com Biotics Research, Bio-K Mulsion - 1 fl oz A good organic whole food diet along with lots of leafy green vegetables is all that is necessary to prevent vitamin K deficiency in newborns. |

Hepatitis B Vaccine Most states now require the Hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Many parents are also cornered by emergency room personnel during accident visits. Hospitals nationally are under pressure to utilize every opportunity to score a "hit." If your pediatrician understands your views, get him involved with the hospital. As a last resort, protect your right to receive quality care in by asking hospital personal to sign the following waiver. Usually, you'll never find anybody in the hospital to sign this simple form, but you well get relief from demands to vaccinate your child. "I certify that the (Name of Vaccine)________ vaccine being administered to (Name of Child)_________ is free from all known and yet unknown zoonotic or human viruses or viral fragments and will not cause acute or chronic illness in the recipient due to viral contamination or as a reaction to the components of this vaccine. (Signature of Physician and Date)_________." If you do get a signature, hold on to the form. See Birth Plans for more information on avoiding Hep B Vaccination at birth |

Waivers - Take Care In Signing
If you take your new baby to an MD as opposed to a naturopath and/or
chiropractor, please be aware of and careful of any forms you sign.Our WARNING below is about signing (some) state approved and AAP created forms. See this letter from our director, Ingri Cassel, before you consider signing waiver forms. WARNING! A modified AAP form is posted here that you may wish to use with your doctor: AAPmodified.htm AAPmodified.doc MSWord .DOC file | AAPmodified.pdf PDF file, best for printing. Not all State employees are aware of the law and many exhibit the Hitler Complex. Take a firm stand. Some individuals have had difficulty getting the required forms. Such arrogance on the part of State employees should be reported to the Director of your state Department of Health.

There was some language added to the Philosophical and Religious exemption form. Many parents objected to the added language. In November, the Vermont DOH relented and modified the requirements of what must be signed each year. We suggest you may want to mark out some of the language on the exemption form. Be on the alert for changes in the form. See the NEWS and the Act 157 below for more information. NEWS November 29, 2012 Vt. vaccine exemption form relaxed after criticism MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — The Vermont Health Department has softened a rule affecting parents who want to skip vaccinations for their children... Parents now will only be required to say they have read the department's educational materials on vaccines, Dolan told the Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules. They will have to sign a form each year that says: "I have reviewed and understand the Required Parent Education Information developed by the Vermont Department of Health." Committee members voted to accept the department's revised rules after the panel's chairman, Rep. Richard Marek, a Newfane Democrat and lawyer, said he believed the revisions described by Dolan addressed the constitutional concerns. See source article for full story.
Act 157 No. 157 Page 2 of 7 Sec. 2. 18 V.S.A. § 1122 is amended to read: § 1122. EXEMPTIONS (a) A Notwithstanding subsections 1121(a) and (b) of this title, a person may remain in school or in the child care facility without a required immunization: (1) If the person, or, in the case of a minor, the person’s parent or guardian presents a written statement, from form created by the department and signed by a licensed health care practitioner authorized to prescribe vaccines or a health clinic, or nurse stating that the person is in the process of being immunized. The person may continue to attend school or the child care facility as long as for up to six months while the immunization process is being accomplished; (2) If a health care practitioner, licensed to practice in Vermont and authorized to prescribe vaccines, certifies in writing that a specific immunization is or may be detrimental to the person’s health or is not appropriate;, provided that when a particular vaccine is no longer contraindicated, the person shall be required to receive the vaccine; or (3) If the person, or, in the case of a minor, the person’s parent or guardian states in writing annually provides a signed statement to the school or child care facility on a form created by the Vermont department of health that the person, parent, or guardian: No. 157 Page 3 of 7 (A) has holds religious beliefs or philosophical convictions opposed to immunization; (B) has reviewed and understands evidence-based educational material provided by the department of health regarding immunizations, including information about the risks of adverse reactions to immunization; (C) understands that failure to complete the required vaccination schedule increases risk to the person and others of contracting or carrying a vaccine-preventable infectious disease; and (D) understands that there are persons with special health needs attending schools and child care facilities who are unable to be vaccinated or who are at heightened risk of contracting a vaccine-preventable communicable disease and for whom such a disease could be life-threatening. (b) The health department may provide by rule for further exemptions to immunization based upon sound medical practice. (c) A form signed pursuant to subdivision (a)(3) of this section and the fact that such a form was signed shall not be: (1) construed to create or deny civil liability for any person; or (2) admissible as evidence in any civil
