The
"Common reactions to vaccines" tear-off pad of 100 sheets and the Rotavirus DL brochure have been updated in relation to the advice about rotavirus vaccine linked with intussusception.
The information on the back page of the Common reactions sheet now includes intussusception signs and symptoms. The Rotavirus DL brochure has also been updated to include the rare link between the rotavirus vaccine and intussusception.
Please replace current stock immediately with the new versions.
