8 week vaccines - rotavirus

I've just taken my son for his vaccines and he was given an oral one for the rotavirus. I told the nurse I was worried about this one but she went on to give him it anyway
If your baby had the vaccine, did he/she have a reaction? Any diarrrhea or sickness from it? Did anyone else catch it? Can it be passed on through saliva (may baby is a dribbler and thumb sucker and I'm worried about kissing his face or hands etc.)?
I'm panicking because I have a huge phobia of catching a stomach bug but I sort of know in a way it's better to vaccinate him against it with a weakened version than him catch it and get the full blown thing. I literally cried when we left the doctors, feel so guilty that I may have let them give him the rotavirus.
Thanks x
Try not to worry hon, as with most vaccines LO may have a raised temp but should mostly be fine.
She was given calpol afterwards on advice from the nurse but that was for the effects of the other jabs.

My Lg had the oral one at the 8 and 12 week jags and she has been fine with no effects at all we had calpol on stand by but never needed it..
I made sure ds2 had the vaccine as it was the worst week of our lives!!

Your immune system should be strong enough to fight off the "bug" before you would even know you had it.
I think it's just luck of the draw whether they get any side effects of the immunisations. X

I've spoken to the doctor who said wait until next week and then if it's still bad then go to the docs. I can't believe a weakened virus can have such an effect. I feel awful for him - it just doesn't seem to be getting any better!
Don't know what to do about the next round of vaccinations. I don't want him going through this again. Was thinking about asking for the injections separate to the rotavirus oral vaccine so that he has chance to fight them off separately. Poor little man

My baby developed signs of tummy pains after her 12 week immunisations, pretty sure it's the rotovirus. She's Not slept at night for 4 nights, just wriggles and squeals with pain. She's just as uncomfortable all day. No end in sight!
How long did your baby take to recover?
Am definitely reporting as a side effect.

Mine had this recently, we noticed a few more poos than usual and a little bit greener than normal but he seemed fine in himself.

This is rather old now but how long did it last?? Mine is going through the same thing, feedings are so unsettled because he is so uncomfortable. I can hear his little tummy gurgling. It’s awful
