How do you administer the vaccination?

The syrup vaccine is taken orally.

Is it possible to administer this vaccine at the same time as other vaccines (triple combination vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, Hib vaccine, etc.)?

Yes, but since the rotavirus gastroenteritis vaccine is administered at a medical institution, it cannot be administered at the same time as the BCG or polio vaccines administered at public health centers.

What is the vaccination period and interval between doses?

The vaccine is administered twice, at least four weeks apart, between 6 and 24 weeks of age.

What should I do if my child vomits immediately after receiving the vaccine?

There is no need for revaccination. Because the vaccine contains a large amount of virus, even a small amount is enough to provide immunity.
However, if the entire dose is vomited immediately after vaccination, the vaccine will be administered again.
Even if you take double the dose, there is no need to worry about side effects.
Part of the vaccine virus is quickly adsorbed to cells in the pharynx and intestinal tract, so if the vaccine is vomited after a certain amount of time has passed, there is no need to administer it a second time.
The vaccination should take approximately 15 minutes. In some cases, you may be required to receive a second vaccination for a fee.

My baby is over 20 weeks old, can I still get the vaccine?

Even one vaccination has a certain degree of effectiveness, so please vaccinate. However, it is not recommended to vaccinate after 24 weeks of age, as safety cannot be guaranteed.
