The Food and Drug Administration recommended Monday that doctors temporarily stop using GlaxoSmithKline PLC's (GSK) Rotarix child vaccine after a virus was found in the product.
The agency said it needed to learn more about parts of an extraneous virus that was found in the vaccine. The FDA said there's currently no evidence of a safety risk associated with the vaccine.
"There is no evidence...that this poses any health risk," FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said in a conference call with reporters. "We're simply asking that there be a pause in its use."
She also said Rotarix has a significant track record of being safe.

kinda weird.... if there is no risk, why would they advice for Doc to stop using it for a while, right?
