Can an adult get rotavirus?

Rotavirus is typically associated with stomach upset in children, but adults can also experience these unpleasant symptoms. Although adults usually develop milder forms of stomach upset than children, it's important to be aware that you can become infected and spread the virus regardless of age.

How contagious is rotavirus?

Rotavirus is extremely contagious and is primarily spread through contact with feces or objects contaminated by the virus.
