Although the rotavirus vaccine has been withdrawn as of October, 1999, I am retaining the answer to this question, in case it should be later reintroduced in some form. For infants receiving the full three doses, breastfeeding infants show the same level of immunity as formula-fed infants. For infants receiving only one dose, immunity may be less among breastfed infants.
