If an infant received rotavirus vaccine at 16 weeks of age and is not yet 24 weeks of age, do you count the first dose and continue with the vaccine series?
Infants for whom the first dose of rotavirus vaccine was inadvertently administered off label at 13 weeks of age or older may receive the remaining two doses of the series at the routine intervals. Timing of the first dose should not affect the safety and efficacy of the second and third dose. The third dose should not be given after 32 weeks, however.
