Not to confuse our readers, the influenza virus spreads mainly by droplets made when a person infected with the flu coughs, sneezes or talks. The way to protect an infant or child is keep him or her away from sick people and avoid crowded settings with a risk for contacting infected individuals.
Rotavirus spreads easily among young children.
Did you know that children can spread the virus both before and after they become sick with diarrhea?
It is transmitted by the fecal-oral route. So, this is one situation when you want to disinfect toys and surfaces, wash hands very well when a child in your family has the rotavirus.
