S.S.
I also strongly encourage you to get this vaccine for your child. Rotavirus can be a horrible disease - causing diarrhea and vomiting, which can lead to sever dehydration and possibly death. Rotavirus is common, and while in the US death is rare, it can lead to hospitalization. I know you want to do what's best for you child, and vaccinating is the right thing to do. Also know that this vaccine is administered orally (it is not an injection) and the first dose must be given by 12 weeks of age or the doctor will not start the series. So if you wait until the 4 month visit, it will be too late to get it.
