I'm FTM and my sons 8 week vaccines are soon and I'm considering rejecting the rotavirus vaccine (accepting 6-1 and men b).
Reasons being:
The nhs website stating that most children that get it recover at home within a week. So the rotavirus itself being relatively mild and not a danger to life.
The effectiveness of vaccine - as I know vaccines are not 100% effective but the data on this particular vaccine seems that it is less effective than others.
not wanting to overload their immune system.
Baby is breastfed so this offers some protection and eases recovery if they do get it.
I'm not anti vax by any means and will be accepting all other vaccines but haven't heard of rotavirus one before and my sisters little boy didn't have it when he was born in 2015.
Just after some advice really on whether I should get it or not and if anyone else said no to it?
