The Rotarix vaccine is a vaccine that is administered against rotavirus infection as part of the immunization schedule for children. Unfortunately, in Romania, it is not included in the national vaccination calendar settled by the insurance company, so you will have to get it yourself from pharmacies. Doctors say that the vaccine we are referring to is indicated for the active immunization of infants aged between six and 24 weeks, for the prevention of gastroenteritis caused by rotavirus infection. They claim that rotavirus causes a contagious disease that affects the digestive system and can lead to diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration. Young children are usually most susceptible to infection, and the vaccine can help prevent rotavirus infections and provide important protection for young children.
Moreover, the anti-rotavirus serum is designed to be administered orally only, never by injection. The vaccination schedule provides for the administration of two doses, which act against diarrhea produced by several rotaviral strains. It also helps develop antibodies that protect against rotavirus infection and significantly reduces the chances of contracting and spreading the virus. In addition, it is very helpful in preventing dehydration and reducing the risk of hospitalization due to severe diarrhea. Like any vaccine, Rotarix can have some side effects, the most common of which are diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and irritability. An allergic reaction to the vaccine may also occur, including a rash, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the face or neck.
