Injecting the medication into the vastus lateralis.

Hemorrhagic illness is treated as a preventative measure with vitamin K. It is injected into the vastus lateralis muscle intramuscularly (IM). Soon after delivery, your infant will typically get a single injection of vitamin K into the leg muscle.

You can give your child liquid vitamin K drops in their mouth instead of an injection if you choose. The body does not absorb oral vitamin K drops as effectively as it does injectable vitamin K, thus three doses of oral vitamin K are required.

The first dosage is administered at birth, the second between 3 and 5 days later, and the third dose is administered at 4 weeks of age.
