WHAT ROTARIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Rotarix is a viral vaccine, containing live, attenuated human
rotavirus, that helps to protect your child,
from the age of 6 weeks, against gastro-enteritis (diarrhoea and
vomiting) caused by rotavirus
infection.
HOW ROTARIX WORKS
Rotavirus infection is the most common cause of severe diarrhoea in
infants and young children.
Rotavirus is easily spread from hand-to-mouth due to contact with
stools from an infected person.
Most children with rotavirus diarrhoea recover on their own. However,
some children become very ill
with severe vomiting, diarrhoea and life-threatening loss of fluids
that requires hospitalisation.
When a person is given the vaccine, the immune system (the body’s
natural defences) will make
antibodies against the most commonly occurring types of rotavirus.
These antibodies protect against
disease caused by these types of rotavirus.
As with all vaccines, Rotarix may not completely protect all people
who are vaccinated against the
rotavirus infections it is intended to prevent.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Rotarix is indicated for the active immunisation of infants aged 6 to
24 weeks for prevention of gastro-
enteritis due to rotavirus infection (see sections 4.2, 4.4 and 5.1).
The use of Rotarix should be based on official recommendations.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The vaccination course consists of two doses. The first dose may be
administered from the age of 6
weeks. There should be an interval of at least 4 weeks between doses.
The vaccination course should
preferably be given before 16 weeks of age, but must be completed by
the age of 24 weeks.
Rotarix may be given with the same posology to preterm infants born
after at least 27 weeks of
gestational age (see sections 4.8 and 5.1).
In clinical trials, spitting or regurgitation of the vaccine has
rarely been observed and, under such
circumstances, a replacement dose was not given. However, in the
unlikely event that an infant spits
out or regurgitates most of the vaccine dose, a single replacement
dose may be given at the same
vaccination visit.
It is recommended that infants who receive a first dose of Rotarix
complete the 2-dose regimen with
Rotarix. There are no data on safety, immunogenicity or efficacy when
Rotarix is administered for the
fir
