This is for New York, but other states have the refusal forms and Providers Practitioners Manuals.
Section 12.3 of New York State Law NYCRR, Title 10, Section 12.3 (Vitamin K prophylaxis)...
From New York Vaccination Decisions.
Restore the patient's right to informed consent
At the end, she gives a couple (expensive) options to try to prevent your child from receiving Vit K:
http://home.att.net/~waterbird/ "It has been shown that New York State Law currently forces medication that subjects healthy newborns to risks of life threatening side effects. New York State Law NYCRR, Title 10, Section 12.3 violates longstanding traditions in medicine and law that protect free citizens from unwarranted and unhealthy intrusion. This law must be repealed, or ammended to explicitly provide parents the right to refuse medical prophylaxis. Article 78 of New York Civil Practice provides a mechanism for temporarily nullifying Section 12.3. It is cumbersome and expensive, but may be the only legal option available to individuals within the courts of New York State. Another option is to sue under in Federal Court by invoking 42 USC 1983.
Parents are justified in their right to refuse medication of their children to protect them from unnecessary harm."
Invoking 42 USC 1983 could possibly apply to the administeration of antibiotic eye drops.

http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/SAFETY/2003/03Feb_PI/AquaMEPHYTON_PI.pdfRead the WARNING below from Merck's pHARMa package insert...
INJECTION AquaMEPHYTON® (PHYTONADIONE) Aqueous Colloidal Solution of Vitamin K1
WARNING - INTRAVENOUS USE Severe reactions, including fatalities, have occurred during and immediately after the parenteral administration of AquaMEPHYTON* (Phytonadione). Typically these severe reactions have resembled hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis, including shock and cardiac and/or respiratory arrest. Some patients have exhibited these severe reactions on receiving AquaMEPHYTON for the first time. The majority of these reported events occurred following intravenous administration, even when precautions have been taken to dilute the AquaMEPHYTON and to avoid rapid infusion. Therefore, the INTRAVENOUS route should be restricted to those situations where another route is not feasible and the increased risk involved is considered justified.

http://www.wadsworth.org/newborn/guideappendices.pdf From New York Vaccination Decisions regarding Hepatitis B vaccine for newborns.
Well, look at this. I just found this letter to hospital administrators from the Immunization Program on the NYS Dept of Health website while actually searching for something else.
http://www.health.state.ny.us/diseases/communicable/hepatitis/birthhospital.htmScroll down to the paragraph that actually admits: "Your policy must clearly state that hepatitis B vaccine is to be offered to all newborns. As with all childhood immunizations, medical and religious exemptions are recognized in our state, and because the administration of hepatitis B vaccine at birth is recommended, but not mandated by state law, some parents may choose to defer immunization until a later time."
"...hepatitis B vaccine at birth is recommended, but not mandated by state law..." There it is in black & white. Gotta love it.

I hope someone uses this affidavit, model birth plan letter and refusal forms, and that it succeeds. We want to hear about it if someone does succeed with this.
