Description
Rotavirus is the leading cause of diarrhea and vomiting in children aged 6 to 24 months worldwide, posing a severe threat, especially to the youngest infants. In densely populated areas like Hong Kong, the virus spreads through the fecal-oral route, making it easy to circulate among young children. Nearly all children will be infected by the age of 5, with mild cases resulting in fever and dehydration, while severe cases can lead to over 20 episodes of vomiting or diarrhea in a single day, lasting 3 to 9 days. Vaccinating with the oral rotavirus vaccine offers comprehensive protection for your child against intestinal viruses, ensuring healthy growth.
- Rotavirus Oral Vaccine Two doses $1,980 (Including a doctor’s consultation)
Why is the Rotavirus Oral Vaccine Needed?
There is no specific treatment for rotavirus infection; management focuses on hydration and symptom control. Vaccination is the best way to prevent this highly contagious virus, especially for:
- Infants aged 6 weeks to 24 weeks, particularly those without established immunity.
- Families with a history of infections among family members or peers.
- Children living in densely populated or varying hygiene conditions.
Important Notes
- The vaccine should be administered between 6 weeks and 24 weeks of age, ideally at 6 to 8 weeks after birth.
- If the child has a fever or diarrhea, please seek medical evaluation before vaccination.
- Pregnant women or individuals with compromised immune systems should consult a doctor before exposure to the vaccine.
