Trillian is right.. the Rotavirus they give to babies at 2, 4 & 6 months is an oral dose.
But i would like to know if it can be given to older kids too.. DS had a really BAD case of gastro a few months ago.. i would hate for him to continue to have these..
ETA.. i just found this on the net:
Giving the vaccine to older children (‘catch-up’ vaccination) is not recommended because the safety and effectiveness of the oral rotavirus vaccine have not been confirmed in older children.
