A GENTLE REMINDER TO ALL NEW MOMS AND FUTURE MOMS
I saw a post today saying “No Vitamin K, No Hepa B, No BCG kay mag-yellow ang baby.”
This is NOT true.
And thousands of moms might read it so let’s fix the facts:
1️⃣ Jaundice is NORMAL in newborns.
60–80% of babies turn yellow in the first few days even without any injection.
It’s because their liver is still immature
NOT because of vaccines.
2️⃣ Vitamin K prevents brain bleeds.
All newborns have extremely low Vitamin K.
Without it, even a minor head trauma that causes a minor bleed can progress to intracranial hemorrhage.
This shot saves lives.
3️⃣ Hepatitis B can still be passed even if mom is “negative.”
There are window periods, low-level carriers, and household transmission.
Early infection → liver cancer later in life.
4️⃣ BCG protects against the DEADLIEST forms of TB.
TB meningitis and disseminated TB
very common in the Philippines
and often fatal without protection.
These aren’t “experimental.” They’re DECADES-PROVEN newborn protections.
Kung naay kahadlok, pangutan-a gyud ang sakto nga mga taw. Konsultaha inyong Pediatrician. Ayaw mog too anang mga storya storya lang diri sa facebook
Our babies deserve protection, not fear-based decisions.
