Rota Vaccine for a three months old baby
Hi doctor,
I took my baby for his 3rd month of vaccination yesterday. Last two times, I observed that one purple/pink colour rota virus vaccine was given.
However this time, there were no pink/purple colour drops given. When I asked the doctor and nurse about it, they said, the outer case is pink and not the liquid itself.
Is that true? Please help me. I'm really worried whether they gave the correct vaccine to my baby or not.
Kindly suggest. Thank you.

The color of the oral rotavirus vaccine itself is not indicative of its effectiveness or authenticity. It's common for the vaccine packaging or the stabilizer to have color, but the vaccine is usually clear or faintly tinted. If you're concerned:
- Confirm the vaccine details with the clinic where it was administered.
- Check the vaccine vial if you still have it, noting the name and batch number.
- Trust in the established safety and effectiveness of vaccines given by healthcare professionals.
- Observe your baby for any signs of reaction, although they are rare.
Next Steps
Check in your baby’s vaccine file the vaccination label (sticker) which would have been stuck after administrating the vaccine if it was in a private hospital.
Health Tips
For peace of mind, you're welcome to book a tele-consultation with me to discuss any concerns about your baby's vaccination.
