The FDA issued a Public Health Notification about 28 post-marketing reports of intussusception, which is a potentially serious life-threatening condition. What happens is the intestine gets blocked or twisted. Healthcare professionals and others are encouraged to report any cases of this or any other serious events that may be associated with the RotaTeq vaccine. Parents should report any pain, vomiting, diarrhea, blood in stool, or change in their children's bowl movements as this may be a sign of intussusception.
