Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Patients receiving Rotarix receive 2 doses at age 2 and 4 months only.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
These are common, minor side effects of vaccines and can be treated with acetaminophen and cold compresses. Aspirin is contraindicated in children because of its association with Reye's syndrome. Since these are not serious adverse effects, they do not need to be reported to VAERS. It is not necessary to schedule a clinic visit.
