Hi,
Me again. I just wanted to ask this general question.
Did your babies get the vaccine against rotavirus?
I'm asking because Nolan's pediatrician highly recommended it to us when he was still young because he said every year, he's seen many infants get hit with the gastro. Not sure if another virus is responsible but we did have Nolan vaccinated against this when he was younger (it's called Rotateq), in addition to the usual ones. So far, he hasn't gotten gastro (knock on wood!!) so I'm not sure maybe this is the strain that the vaccine was developed for?
It's given by mouth so he didn't mind it then in addition to his other shots.
I can't remember if the government covered this vaccine. I seem to recall that Dr. Lupu said it wasn't covered yet but he highly recommended it to us back then and seemed passionate about it enough that we said yes.
Just as an FYI. Of course, nothing is fullproof but just in case...
Christine
