stop giving RotaShield, the new rotavirus vaccine for diarrhea
August 1999
The CDC says to stop giving RotaShield, the new rotavirus vaccine for diarrhea...until they can figure out if it's the cause of several cases of bowel obstruction in young infants.
They expect to have more info by November...the start of the rotavirus season.
In the meantime, report any suspected problems to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System...800-822-7967.
