The health workers were aware that Hep B can be given to newborn within 24 hours but were reluctant to give it beacuse no training was given to them. During my field visit I oriented them on importance of birth dose as well as how to give it and they started giving Hep B. This was the first child to be administered Hep B birth dose at district hospital in Simdega district of Jharkhand, India.
