RotarixTM is a freeze-sensitive vaccine that must be stored in the refrigerator at a temperature of between +2oC to +8oC. It is a very safe vaccine, which provides 90–100% protection from severe rotavirus disease to fully immunized infants, and 74–85% protection against rotavirus diarrhoea of any severity.

You will receive instructions on the contraindications for giving rotavirus vaccine, and the management of possible adverse events following immunization.
