Questions
What are the side effects of the oral rotavirus live vaccine? Is it necessary to be vaccinated? What are the benefits and drawbacks?
Answers
Rotavirus primarily causes vomiting and diarrhea, which are common during summer and autumn, particularly affecting children aged between 6 months and 2 years. With proactive care measures, vomiting and diarrhea can be effectively prevented. The oral rotavirus live vaccine may trigger a high fever, usually not exceeding 38 degrees Celsius, and does not require the use of fever-reducing medication; drinking plenty of water can alleviate the symptoms. While the vaccine can prevent vomiting and diarrhea to some extent during the autumn season, vaccination does not guarantee absolute protection against these symptoms.
