A member asked:
If my baby's oral rotavirus vaccine got all over her face, can the virus be spread from there? should i clean her face?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No spread: Many times infants will spit out the oral vaccine while the provider is attempting to give them their vaccine. No need to worry, the virus can not be spread in this manner. You can wash your infant's face with warm water mainly due to the added flavoring in the suspension.
