What is the Rotavirus Vaccine?

The rotavirus vaccine protects infants and young children from a highly contagious virus that typically causes severe diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain. It is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for infants between the ages of 2 months to 8 months old to help protect them throughout their formative years. The only approved vaccine available in the U.S. is RotaTeq, which comes in a three-dose series administered orally at two months, four months, and six months of age. Parents should consult their child's healthcare provider to ensure the desired protection.

How does an injury from the Rotavirus Vaccine occur?

In rare cases, the rotavirus vaccine may cause a severe injury called intussusception. Intussusception occurs when the intestine folds in on itself, forming an obstruction that can lead to serious complications.

Symptoms of intussusception include:

Bloody stools
Abdominal pain
Vomiting
Fever
Dehydration.

In some instances, a child may require surgery to correct the problem. Fortunately, this type of injury is rare and usually only occurs within one to two weeks after receiving the vaccine.

How we can help with your Rotavirus Vaccine injury

Injuries from vaccines can change your life, and you may be qualified to receive financial compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). After lawsuits against vaccine companies and healthcare providers in the 1980s threatened to reduce U.S. vaccination rates and cause a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases, the VICP was created. At My Vaccine Lawyer, our team can help you file a claim and guide you through the entire process with the VICP if you have suffered from vaccine-related injuries.

Diagnosing and treating a Rotavirus vaccine injury

Diagnosing a rotavirus vaccine injury typically starts with a physical examination to assess the severity of the injury. Other exams, such as blood tests and abdominal X-rays, may determine whether the intestine has twisted and examine other causes of the symptoms.

Treatment for this type of injury typically includes fluids, antibiotics, antipyretics (fever medication), and in some cases, surgery to untwist the bowel or repair any damage caused by an obstruction. In severe cases, a doctor may recommend that no more doses of the rotavirus vaccine be given.
