  • Scheduling & Administration

Can rotavirus vaccine be given via G-Tube? If so, is it okay to flush with normal saline or sterile water?

The manufacturer has not addressed this issue but CDC considers administration of rotavirus vaccine via gastrostomy tube to be acceptable practice. There should be no problem flushing the tube after vaccine has been administered.
