The vaccine that babies drink is the rotavirus vaccine.
According to the NHS, the rotavirus vaccine is given as a liquid that's squirted into your baby's mouth. If the baby spits up or brings up the liquid immediately, another dose is given.
Here are some key details about the rotavirus vaccine:
- Administration: The vaccine is administered orally, meaning it's given as a liquid that the baby drinks.
- Dosage: If a dose is brought up immediately, another dose will be administered.
- Purpose: The rotavirus vaccine protects babies from the rotavirus, a common cause of diarrhea and vomiting in infants.
