[quote=Anonymous]That's pretty surprising because the way I understand it, the CDC is pretty diligent about insisting on documentation that this vax is administered at 2/4/6 mos of age.  I don't know how old your child is now, but the biggest reason to give it to infants is due to the risk of dehydration.

I understand that your ped had a challenge with this particular vaccine but, IMO, she should have been more diligent about ensuring her patients received the information.  Just a quick review of the Wiki page states that the production was halted of Rotarix & Rotateq for a couple months in spring, 2010, but that suspension was lifted.

I'm all for empowering parents and I actually chose to delay/stagger some vaccines for my children but I would be ridiculously pissed off if my pediatrician made this decision for me.  OP, consider this a lesson learned, you are your child's best advocate.  I adore and trust my ped but as a parent I strive to be as educated as possible, including knowing what vaccines are to be administered at each visit.
