    Re: Rotavirus vax -did you or didn't you?

    I replied in one of your other posts, but DD had 2 doses of the rotavirus vax and was quite sick for over a week each time, fatigue, very unsettled (couldn't put her down at all) and diarrhoea. I didn't give it to DS.

    If you believe that vaccines give immunity, then one dose provides some immunity, 2 doses greater immunity, and 3 doses greater immunity again. It is not all or or nothing thing after giving 3 doses. I know the govt scheme does have age limits on when they will give each dose though.

    ETA - Both kids exclusively breastfed, and not in childcare. DS also had gut and allergy issues (excema) which also influenced my decision to not give the rotavirus vax.
