What is the dose for rotavirus vaccine

2018-07-31 02:52:47
After my 5-year old was administered the rotavirus vaccine, he felt nauseous, light-headed and ran a little fever on the way back home. I was thinking if these are just symptoms of a normal fever or was the dose of the vaccine not correct. Does someone know what is adequate the dose for rotavirus vaccine?

Rotavirus vaccine dosage is 1 ml in two doses between the age 6 to 24 weeks with an interval of 4weeks in between. Since it is a live attenuated viral vaccine mild fever like symptoms are common after vaccination.
