Federal health authorities recommended Monday that doctors suspend using Rotarix, one of two vaccines licensed in the United States against rotavirus, saying the vaccine is contaminated with material from a pig virus.

"There is no evidence at this time that this material poses a safety risk," Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg told reporters in a conference call.

Rotarix, made by GlaxoSmithKline, was approved by the FDA in 2008.

@gerryboy3699: Is this Jenny McCarthy? Vaccines are a saving grace. Millions of children all over the world are alive today because of vaccines like Polio, Hib, Rotavirus, Measles, etc...  Those are facts that can't be disputed.
