The patient had no known sick contact.  On 13-SEP-2007, 19-NOV-2007 and 18-JAN-2008 the patient was vaccinated orally with the first (lot # 656705/0241U), the second (lot # 657518/1192U) and the third (lot # 657988/1193U) doses of ROTATEQ, respectively.  It was noted the patient "received the routine vaccines at 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months".

She also reported he had been holding his left ear.  The patient was taking PEDIALYTE SOLUTION).  The physical examination revealed the patient was afebrile, otherwise normal and stable who did not appear to be in any acute distress.
