A member asked:
I missed the rota vaccine schedule for my baby. he is now 8 months old. is there any alternative vaccine i can give him? he has already infected once.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No other vaccine: is available for older infants, but he should make antibodies as a result of his previous infection, which should diminish his risk of getting reinfected soon. The highest risk from rotovirus is dehydration, especially in very small infants, so if he has recovered, he should do well.
