Abstract

Rotavirus is the infectious agent responsible for over half of all cases of childhood diarrhoea and vomiting. By the age of five all children will have had at least once episode of gastroenteritis caused by rotavirus. In November 2012 the Department of Health announced that after a successful tendering process GlaxoSmithKline’s Rotarix vaccine would be introduced to the UK’s childhood immunisation schedule in September 2013. 1
