WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET
This leaflet answers some common questions about RotaTeq. It does not
contain all the
available information. It does not take the place of talking to your
doctor or pharmacist.
All medicines and vaccines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has
weighed the risks of
your child being given RotaTeq against the benefits they expect it
will have for them.
If you have any concerns about your child being given this vaccine,
ask your doctor.
Keep this leaflet with the medicine. You may need to read it again.
WHAT ROTATEQ IS USED FOR
RotaTeq (Rotavirus Vaccine, Live, Oral, Pentavalent) is a viral
vaccine that helps protect
your child against gastroenteritis (diarrhoea and vomiting) caused by
rotavirus infection.
RotaTeq works by helping the body develop natural defences against the
most common
types or “strains” of rotavirus.
The doctor has recommended or administered RotaTeq to help protect
your child against
rotavirus infection, a viral infection of the digestive tract and a
major cause of
gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestines which
causes diarrhoea and
vomiting). The vaccine is given by mouth and is a series of 3 doses.
The first dose is
given as early as 6 weeks of age. The next two doses are given one to
two months apart.
The vaccine course is completed by the time your child is 32 weeks of
age.
Rotavirus gastroenteritis may cause fever, vomiting, and diarrhoea.
These symptoms can
lead to the loss of body fluids (dehydration) and even to death.
It is the chief cause of severe dehydrating diarrhoea among infants
and young children
around the world. Before the vaccine was used, the virus was the cause
for about 25
million physician visits per year. It also accounted for 2.1 million
hospital admissions, and
352,000 to 592,000 deaths per year worldwide.
Rotavirus infects the small intestine and usually starts with fever
and vomiting, followed by
diarrhoea. The diarrhoea can be mild
