Safety and Mechanism
editThe vaccines are made from weakened rotavirus[1] and are safe[1]. They can be used even in HIV/AIDS patients.[1] An earlier version of the vaccine was linked to intussusception, but the current versions are not.[2] Older recommendations were to avoid rotavirus vaccination in babies who have had intussusception.[1]
Rotasiil
editRotasiil is lyophilized pentavalent vaccine. It contain human bovine reassortant strains of rotavirus serotypes G1, G2, G3, G4 and G9. This is world's first thermostable vaccine which can be stored without refrigeration at or below 25 °C. Rotasiil is recently[when?] launched in India.This vaccine is stable for up to 18 months when stored at 40 °C.[3]
