Rotavirus Vaccine in Ottawa
Protect Your Baby from Severe Diarrheal Illness with Expert Care at Centrepointe Medical Consultants
What is Rotavirus?
Rotavirus is a highly contagious virus and the leading cause of severe diarrhea in infants and young children worldwide. It can cause:
- Severe watery diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Fever
- Dehydration
In some cases, rotavirus infection can lead to hospitalization or life-threatening complications if not treated promptly. Fortunately, it is preventable with timely vaccination.
Key Vaccinations and Preventive Measures
About the Rotavirus Vaccine
The rotavirus vaccine is an oral immunization (not a shot) that protects infants from rotavirus infection. In Canada, two types of rotavirus vaccines are available, both safe and effective:
- Given in a series of 2 or 3 oral doses, depending on the brand
- First dose must be given before 15 weeks of age
- Final dose must be given before 8 months of age
Our clinic ensures the correct vaccine and schedule are followed according to Canadian immunization guidelines.
Why Vaccinate Against Rotavirus?
Without vaccination, rotavirus infection can cause:
- Dehydration requiring IV fluids
- Emergency hospital visits
- Increased risk of transmission in childcare settings
Vaccination significantly reduces the severity and risk of infection. It also protects your community by limiting the spread of this highly contagious virus.
