  1. Training for rotavirus vaccine introduction Module 4 Rotavirus vaccine administration

  2. Learning objectives • At the end of the module, the participant will be able to: • Identify the necessary steps to assure good vaccine quality • Describe the method to administer the vaccine • Describe special considerations for outreach • Duration • 45’

  3. 1 How to check the quality of the vaccine? 2 How to prepare for vaccination? 3 How to administer the vaccine? 4 What to do if the child spits part of the vaccine out? Key issues

  4. How to check the quality of the vaccine? • Before administering the vaccine, always check the expiration date on the tube cap

  5. How to prepare for vaccination? (1/2)

  6. How to prepare for vaccination? (2/2)

  7. How to prepare for vaccination? (3/4)

  8. Can rotavirus vaccine be given at the same time as other childhood vaccines? • Rotavirus vaccine can be administered with any of the following routine childhood vaccines without interfering with their effectiveness: • Diphtheria–tetanus–pertussis vaccine (DTP) • Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine (Hib) • Inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) • Hepatitis B vaccine • Pneumococcal vaccine • Oral polio vaccine (OPV) • Give oral vaccines like OPV and rotavirus vaccine first,then give other injectable childhood vaccines

  9. What should you do in this scenario? The child is 6 weeks old. You give him/her OPV, rotavirus and pentavalentvaccines. In which order should you give the vaccines?

  10. How to position the child for rotavirus vaccination? • The child should be seated in a semi reclining position to take the vaccine orally

  11. How to position the vaccine? • Open the child’s mouth by gently pressing the cheeks together • Angle the tube towards the inner cheek

  12. How to administer the vaccine? • Administer the vaccine by pressing the tube • Squeeze the tube slowly • Make sure the child is swallowing the vaccine • Hold the cheeks together and stroke him/her under the chin to help with swallowing

  13. What to do if the infant spits out part of the vaccine? • A dose of rotavirus vaccine is larger than a dose of oral polio vaccine (RotaTq™ = 2 mL, Polio= 3 drops) • To prevent spitting • Place the tip of the tube towards the inside of the child's cheek • Slowly administer the vaccine in small portions • A replacement dose may be given if an incomplete dose is administered for any reason • E.g. infant spits or regurgitates the vaccine

  14. How many vials to take for outreach? • Rotavirus vaccine can be given at the same time as pentavalent vaccine • For outreach take the same amount of pentavalent single dose vials as rotavirus vaccine tubes • Unused and sealedrotavirus tubes brought back from outreach should be immediately kept in the refrigerator for use in the next session

  15. Key messages • Check and interpret expiration date on the tube cap before giving the vaccine • When opening the rotavirus vaccine tube, twist the tube cap clockwise to remove the tip seal • Give the OPV and rotavirus vaccine first, then administer other injectable vaccines • The rotavirus vaccine dose quantity is larger than that of oral polio vaccine (RotaTeq™ 2 mL) and infants may not take the full dose all at once • To prevent spitting, slowly administer the vaccine in small amounts and properly place the tip of the tube towards the inside of the child's cheek • If the infant spits out some or all of the vaccine, a replacement dose may be given during that visit
