Hi Dr. regarding my baby rotavirus vaccine first dose of rotavirus given using rotarix but second dose of that given with some other brand. Am not sure about the brand name (saw plastic tube like one). Will it cause any problem to my baby or do I need to put that vaccine one more. Shall I leave this vaccine as two doses are given pls advise.

Ideally, immunisation should b completed with the same brand of vaccine. As far as rotarix is concerned 2 doses r enough to complete the course but since the second dose was given of other brand (i think it was rotateq), you need to take one more dose of the same brand.
