16 week vaccinations

My baby had her 16 week vaccinations on Thursday. Come Friday morning she started having yellow watery poos, this has continued Saturday but not as frequent. Is it normal to get diarrhea after these vaccines? I'm worried because she doesn't seem to be weeing. I'm aware that her body's fluids are coming out with her diarrhea and she is still feeding fine. Just want to know if I'm overreacting!

Yes, it's common! It's from the rotavirus vaccine. Make sure you wash your hands really well after changing her nappies so you don't catch it!

I thought that it was the Rotavirus vaccine at first but she had that at 12 weeks and the diarrhea has only just came on the past few days, surely it would have started not long after her 12 week vaccinations? Or can it delay? Or is there a vaccine in the 16 week batch that can cause it?

In Ireland they get the rotavirus vaccine at two and four months. It's given orally, dropped into their mouth. Can you ring where you got it done and check with them?

In the uk rotavirus is given at 8&12 weeks only. Orally.
