My child didn't get rotavirus vaccine

Dear Dr Ombeva,

I took my nine month-old son for immunisation, and the nurse only gave him an injection for measles vaccine. He missed the rotavirus vaccine for diarrhoea and I wanted him to receive it too. But the nurse declined, and said the boy is already beyond the age for the vaccine. Do you agree with her or should I look for another place to get the vaccine. Thank you.
