Rotarix (GlaxoSmithKline) is recommended as a 2-dose series at ages 2 and 4 months. ACIP recommendations for use of rotavirus vaccines are available at www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5802a1.htm. The minimum age for the first dose is 6 weeks and the maximum age for dose #1 is 14 weeks 6 days. Vaccination should not be initiated for infants age 15 weeks 0 days or older because there are insufficient data on the safety of dose #1 in older infants. The minimum interval between doses of rotavirus vaccine is 4 weeks.
