You may want to consult an attorney on existing state laws that govern birthing facilities, injections, and your rights so that you can call the attorney if you encounter any problems with being coerced against your wishes to give your newborn a vaccine or other injection (RSV and vitamin K) at the birthing facility where your baby is born.
If anyone is threatening you with charges of child medical neglect or child abuse for not giving your child a vaccine, such as hepatitis B vaccine, it is important to immediately find an attorney who will advise you about whether or not your parental medical informed consent rights are being violated and evaluate your legal options. See the next topic – Coercion and Child Medical Neglect or Child Abuse – for more information on legal resources.
