Rotavirus vaccine

Rotavirus is the most common cause of infant diarrhea, often leading to unnecessary hospitalizations. The rotavirus vaccine is protective against this virus. It is recommended to give this vaccine starting in infants at the age of 2 months. Depending on the vaccine type, there is a 2-dose schedule or a 3-dose schedule. Babies should be fully vaccinated before the age of 6 months, regardless of the vaccine type.
