We got our boy vacinated, for a number of reasons, and were happy with our choice. He is nearly 3 so it was a while ago, but from memory I think it cost us about $90 per shot (and there were 3 of them). ]]> Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:05:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34929&PID=1111665&title=rotavirus-vaccine#1111665 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34929&PID=1111657&title=rotavirus-vaccine#1111657 Author: mummyofprinces

Yeah it would be good to be informed. Initially I was wary of any other than the standard ones we had as kids, but after the past week I'm wavering. I only knew about it because a friend who works in Ministry of Health mentioned it, and I saw an ad in a magazine.]]> Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:14:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34929&PID=1111371&title=rotavirus-vaccine#1111371 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34929&PID=1111188&title=rotavirus-vaccine#1111188 Author: monkey33

I didn't know there was a vaccine for rotavirus? Interesting that when you get the standard vaccines you aren't informed about other vaccines available even at a fee - eg chicken pox vaccine and this one. It doesn't mean you will do them, but it would be good to have been informed about the options?]]> Wed, 28 Jul 2010 08:46:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34929&PID=1111188&title=rotavirus-vaccine#1111188 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34929&PID=1111131&title=rotavirus-vaccine#1111131 Author: Bexee

Ah thanks for that, just spotted he might be too old... However, interesting to hear that a couple of you have had it done - I'm certainly thinking it might be a very good idea for number 2.]]> Wed, 28 Jul 2010 07:55:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34929&PID=1111131&title=rotavirus-vaccine#1111131 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34929&PID=1111078&title=rotavirus-vaccine#1111078 Author: WestiesGirl

you cant get it after 26 weeks :( mack just missed the cut off and spent 2 weeks in and out of hosp with it. they have ordered it in for me so i can get Finn done at his 12 week jabs :) just call your local doctor and ask if they can get it in (normally takes a few weeks though) but im pretty sure she'll be too old unless they have changed something]]> Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:40:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34929&PID=1111037&title=rotavirus-vaccine#1111037 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34929&PID=1111031&title=rotavirus-vaccine#1111031 Author: cuppatea

These might help, it's some info from the government website on the rotovirus vaccine.

First one is for parents, second one is for health providers.

So, after a truly hideous six days with suspected rotavirus, we are considering getting DS 11 months the vaccine.

Without wanting to start a debate on the merits of vaccinations, I'm simply wondering if anyone has used it?]]> Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:07:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34929&PID=1110943&title=rotavirus-vaccine#1110943
