What Is Inside the ROTATEQ Formulation?

Each 2 mL oral tube contains live attenuated reassortant rotavirus strains.

ROTATEQ is a live oral vaccine but weakened — it does not cause disease in healthy infants.

How Does the ROTATEQ Vaccine Work?

ROTATEQ works by introducing weakened rotavirus strains into the infant’s digestive system.

This stimulates the immune system to:

• Prevent severe rotavirus infection

• Reduce risk of dehydration and hospitalization

It provides broad protection against multiple rotavirus types, making it highly effective.
