ROTAVIRUS ORAL VACCINE SERVICE-1DOSE

Rotavirus is the most important cause of gastroenteritis(diarrhoea) in children and infants worldwide. In Hong Kong, it is responsible for about 30% of gastroenteritis admissions into public hospitals. It typically affects infants aged 6 – 15 months. The diarrhea caused by Rotavirus is usually more severe and tends to give rise to dehydration more often, especially in young infants. Epidemiology studies have shown that by age 2 years, almost all babies would have had at least one Rotavirus infection, and about 40% has had up to 3 infections. Globally it is responsible for over 2 million admissions and 440,000 deaths annually.

Rotateq contains G1, G2, G3, G4 & P(8) serotype, but is a human / cow reassortment vaccine. Rotarix contains the G1P(8) serotype, and is a human live attenuated vaccine. Both vaccines have similar efficacy and very safe side effect profiles.
