Is there a rotavirus vaccine for adults
Hey! My kid was recently affected with Rotavirus and was given treatment by the doctors. I had been with her all the time and now I have started to develop certain symptoms of Rotavirus in myself. It is said that it will not affect as severely as it does to a kid. But, is there any rotavirus vaccine for adults? I just don’t want to infect anyone around and spread the disease. Can someone help me with what to do next?
Rotavirus infection is highly contagious. Contamination of hands or surfaces with the stool of an infected person and then touching the mouth is the main method of spread. Rotavirus infection is contagious (can be spread to other people) from the time before diarrhea develops until up to 10 days after symptoms have disappeared. Just keep a high level of personal hygiene which should be enough, wash your hands thoroughly.
