No offense to the pp, because its jmo..my son just had rotavirus and it was AWFUL. He was hospitalized and everything, but I will not be giving the vaccine to #2...its too new of a vaccine for me and I am not a fan of vaccinations anyway.

Re: News article: Rotavirus vaccine may hard infants

But if you read the article, it states that this number (28 children) is actually low compared to normal statistics and before a vaccine was done...

This disorder occurs in some babies regardless of vaccination, and there is no proven link between the vaccine and it.

In my opinion....rotavirus is a nasty, nasty virus where many babies have died from in the past...I was told by my doc that any possible side effects outweigh the risk of this...my friends baby was not vaccinated for it (this was 2 years ago when they recalled a vaccine) and was near death from rotavirus...

Just want to make sure everyone realizes that they are NOT saying the vaccine will cause intusseption in your child...its easy to freak out from a headline.
