Again this is another optional vaccination for babies in Malaysia. A Rotavirus vaccine protects children from Rotaviruses, which are the leading cause of severe diarrhoea and vomiting among infants and young children and often lead to dehydration and can be fatal.

The Rotavirus vaccine – RotaTeq or RotarixTM are oral, liquid vaccines. Rotavirus vaccine should be given at your infant’s 2 month, 4 month, and 6 month. The first dose of Rotavirus vaccine can be given between 6 and 12 weeks, with the next two doses be given at 4 to 10 week intervals, and the last dose being given by the time your baby is 32 weeks old.

Do take note that the last dosage of Rotavirus vaccine should be given by 8 month of age. I was told that after the age of 8 months, you cannot give Rotavirus vaccination to the baby anymore.

More detail information of Rotavirus vaccination can be found on Wikipedia.
