Whether or not the vitamin K shot is necessary, is a huge discussion in the medical field. I encourage parents to do their research and choose responsibly. Unfortunately, if parents wish to forgo the Vitamin K shot, most medical professionals will not perform the circumcision. As long as the procedure is performed on or after the eighth day (when vitamin K levels are elevated) , most Mohelim would gladly perform the procedure. For parents who wish to circumcise and yet want to give their baby oral Vitamin K drops instead of a shot, it may be worth their while to reach out to a Mohel for their son’s circumcision.
