I am a mother of 3 year old from Chicago and I refused to give this rotavirus due to sideeffects. It's new and not been tested enough by people and time. Don't make others rich at the coast of your child. I am not against ALL vaccin, but very selective with it.

As a pediatrician here in USA,I have been administring both the rotavirus vaccine to my patients for more than 5 years in my practice with out any problems. What should be realised is that mortality from Rotavirus gastroenteritis complications are much higher in developing countries and the mothers there do not have the luxuary of not administring a safe vaccine that saves lives.
