After several infections with different strains of the virus, children acquire immunity to rotavirus. Babies and toddlers between 6-24 months of age are at greatest risk for developing severe disease from rotavirus infection. Adults sometimes become infected, but the resulting illness is usually mild.
The purpose of the present statement is to provide recommendations for the use of rotavirus vaccine for infants in Canada, and to summarize information on the disease, epidemiology, as well as the safety and efficacy of vaccines currently authorized for the prevention of rotavirus disease in Canada. Although these vaccines may not prevent all cases of rotavirus diarrhea, they do prevent severe disease and significantly decrease the risk of dehydration and hospitalization in vaccinated infants. 2  Either vaccine is safe and efficacious.
