Rotavirus vaccine is a vaccine to prevent children (from 0 years old to before entering elementary school) from being infected with rotavirus which cause gastroenteritis, encephalitis, and encephalopathy. It is a drinkable vaccine for babies. From October 1, 2020, it became a routine immunization. Routine vaccination is determined and carried out by Japanese domestic regulations. The first vaccination should be between 6 and 14 weeks and 6 days (about 3 months and a half) after birth.

Intended for: Children born after August 1, 2020
Fee: Free

※When you submit your baby’s birth certificate (a document to be submitted to the City Office when your baby is born), you will receive a pre-screening slip. The pre-screening slip is a questionnaire for a safe vaccination. Please see “About Rotavirus Vaccine Routine Immunization” that you will get with the pre-screening slip.

※There are two types of vaccines, each with a different duration and vaccination frequency. Parents choose which one their child will receive.

※Children born before July 31, 2020 are vaccinated voluntarily (Parents choose whether to get vaccinated or not. Paid).
