    Neither of my babies have had HepB needles or Vit K (at birth, or ever) My baby is not in an 'at risk' group of getting hep B, so no point I decided, and with the Vit K, I would only have it done if bub were bruised by the birth process (traumatic birth) or I was unable to do delayed cord clamping, which I feel is extremely important to the health of my baby, and has a bearing on the 'necessity' of Vit K.
