Rotavirus (RV) Vaccines

Rotavirus gets its name from the fact that, under a microscope, the virus resembles a wheel. And you could say, like you might say about a wheel, rotavirus goes round and round. This nasty, potentially lethal bug causes severe acute gastroenteritis with diarrhoea and vomiting, primarily in infants and young children. Fortunately, there are two rotavirus vaccines that can protect children from paediatric critical care for this disease.
