Why the study?
Pre-vaccine surveillance data is needed to assess the impact of vaccine introduction on gastroenteritis admission rates and circulating rotavirus genotypes.
Establishes baseline pre-vaccine surveillance data on rotavirus prevalence and genotypes in India to evaluate future vaccine impact.
Informs pre-vaccine rotavirus surveillance in India; leaves open prospective vaccine impact studies on regional genotypes.
The study highlights the high prevalence of rotavirus gastroenteritis in India and the diversity of rotavirus genotypes across different geographical regions. Pre- vaccine surveillance data is necessary to evaluate the potential change in admission rates for gastroenteritis and circulating rotavirus genotypes after vaccine introduction, thus assessing impact.
