What Is the ROTARIX Vaccine Dubai?

The ROTARIX vaccine Dubai is an oral rotavirus vaccine designed to protect infants against rotavirus infection, the leading cause of severe diarrhea and gastroenteritis in young children worldwide.

Administered by DHA-licensed healthcare professionals at your home, hotel, or clinic across Dubai, ROTARIX is a live attenuated oral vaccine manufactured by GSK (GlaxoSmithKline). Unlike injectable vaccines, it is given orally (by mouth) as a liquid dose, making it painless and easy for infants.

Rotavirus infection can lead to:

• Severe dehydration

• Hospitalisation

• Vomiting and diarrhea

• Electrolyte imbalance

Vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and hospital admissions.

Dr. Mauada, DHA-Licensed Physician:
"Rotavirus is one of the most common causes of hospitalisation in infants globally. ROTARIX is essential in early life to prevent severe dehydration and complications."

How Much Does the ROTARIX Vaccine Cost in Dubai?

Who Should Get the ROTARIX Vaccine in Dubai?

ROTARIX is recommended for infants in early life, ideally starting from 6 weeks of age.

The following groups most commonly receive ROTARIX in Dubai:

• Infants aged 6 weeks and above

• Babies following UAE or international immunisation schedules

• Infants attending daycare or nursery

• Children at risk of viral gastroenteritis exposure

• Parents seeking protection against severe diarrhea

• Infants requiring complete vaccination coverage

What Is Inside the ROTARIX Formulation?

Each oral dose contains live attenuated rotavirus strain.

ROTARIX is a live oral vaccine but weakened — it cannot cause disease in healthy infants.

How Does the ROTARIX Vaccine Work?

ROTARIX works by introducing a weakened form of rotavirus into the digestive system.

This stimulates the immune system to:

• Produce protective antibodies in the gut

• Prevent severe rotavirus infection

• Reduce risk of dehydration and hospitalization

The immune response is focused in the intestinal lining, where rotavirus infection occurs.
