Rotavirus
What is it?
Rotavirus is a virus that can cause diarrhea, vomiting, and fever.
This disease can be very severe and require hospitalization.
The vaccine protects against 90% of severe disease and 70% of all infection.
What's the difference between them?
Rotarix is 2 doses at 2 months and 4 months
Rotateq is 3 doses at 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months
Unlike most other vaccines, both Rotarix and Rotateq are given orally (by mouth) instead of as an injection.
