    Some diarrhoea is a common side effect of the rotarix vaccine. It is live vaccine but attenuated (weakened) and they should advise you to keep them away from immunocompromised people after vaxing.

    Is it only transferable through the pooey nappies or can it be from saliva also? I ask cos I got it after Elijah had his vax and like I said up further, in hindsight I know now it was from him. Tell ya it sucked and DH was in Townsville at the time!
