A study of 11 million U. S. infants reported by AOL. com found a 347% increase in vitamin-K-deficiency bleeding between 2017 and 2025 as the rate of newborn vitamin K injection declined. Earlier research reported by NBC News indicated that two recent studies linked the surge in life-threatening infant bleeding to growing refusals of the standard vitamin K shot.

ABC News cited a JAMA analysis showing the proportion of infants who did not receive the injection rose from 3. 1% in 2017 to 6. 8% in 2025, markedly raising the risk of bleeding and death. CNN described the death of an 11-day-old baby in New Braunfels, Texas, who succumbed to vitamin-K-deficiency bleeding after delayed treatment, a case that led a medical board to deem the care substandard.

Two claims regarding the death of an 11-day-old baby in New Braunfels from vitamin K deficiency bleeding were partially confirmed: one involving the parents declining the vitamin K injection and the emergency department lacking the shot, and another describing emergency staff using multiple measures before administering vitamin K. The claim that this case led to a medical board finding of substandard care had insufficient evidence.
