To maximize rotavirus vaccine impact<br />
• <strong>Vaccine</strong> has to be given before <strong>Rotavirus</strong> Gastro-Enteritis<br />
(RVGE) occurs.<br />
• It is critical to administer the 1 st dose at 6 weeks or soon<br />
thereafter<br />
• <strong>Vaccine</strong> coverage needs to be high, specially among<br />
children at higher risk of rotavirus death and in poor<br />
settings.<br />
• The benefits of rotavirus vaccine (estimated RVGE deaths<br />
averted) outweighs the risks (potential intussusception<br />
deaths associated with rotavirus vaccine).<br />
