Rotavirus vaccine can be administered together with DTaP vaccine, Hib vaccine, IPV, hepatitis B vaccine, and pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. Available evidence suggests that rotavirus vaccine does not interfere with the immune response to these vaccines.
RotaTeq® is administered in a 3-dose series, with doses administered at ages 2, 4, and 6 months. Rotarix® is administered in a 2-dose series, with doses administered at ages 2 and 4 months.
The minimum age for dose 1 of rotavirus vaccine is 6 weeks(1 month half); the maximum age for dose 1 is 14 weeks and 6 days(3months half).,since your baby still 3 months she can take her 1st dose rota ,Vaccination should not be initiated for infants aged 15 weeks and 0 days or older because of insufficient data on safety of dose 1 of rotavirus vaccine in older infants. The minimum interval between doses of rotavirus vaccine is 4 weeks
