Rotarix, made by GlaxoSmithKline, is found to contain a pig virus that is not known to cause illness in humans. Merck's RotaTeq is recommended until more information can be gleaned. The Food and Drug Administration on Monday warned doctors and parents against using the Rotarix rotavirus vaccine until further testing can confirm that it is safe.
