Rotarix

Rotarix is a vaccine designed to protect infants from rotavirus, a common virus that causes severe diarrhea and dehydration. It is administered orally in two doses, usually during infancy, to help the immune system recognize and fight the virus if encountered later. By preventing rotavirus infection, Rotarix reduces the risk of serious dehydration and hospitalization due to diarrhea. It is safe, effective, and widely used as part of childhood immunization programs worldwide to improve child health outcomes.
