2018-07-31 02:52:47
We are getting the rotavirus vaccine administered to our 1-year old in the next two days. However, we have a vacation planned just 5 days from our appointment for the rotavirus vaccine. We’d like to know what is the schedule for rotavirus vaccine? Should we extend or cancel the trip? Or is it okay? Someone help please!
