What is the Lanzhou lamb rotavirus vaccination coverage among children aged 2-59 months in Guangzhou, China?
Rotavirus vaccination coverage among eligible children in Guangzhou, China is low (25.3%), highlighting the need for efforts to increase uptake.
Low target-age coverage highlights implementation gaps; leaves open the need for studies on barriers before guiding practice.
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to estimate the Lanzhou lamb rotavirus (LLR) vaccination coverage (VC) and timeliness among children aged 2 to 59 months in Guangzhou, China. METHODS: An electronic system-based VC survey was conducted using stratified cluster random sampling. RESULTS: We reported an overall Lanzhou lamb rotavirus vaccine coverage of 25.3% among children aged 2-59 months (2-8 months, 2.6%) in Guangzhou, China. CONCLUSION: Great efforts should be taken to increase LLR VC in eligible children in Guangzhou, China.

He et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Rotavirus vaccination coverage (n=8,400). Lanzhou lamb rotavirus (LLR) vaccination was evaluated on Overall Lanzhou lamb rotavirus vaccination coverage (95% CI 24.3-26.2). The overall Lanzhou lamb rotavirus vaccination coverage among children aged 2 to 59 months in Guangzhou was 25.3%, with extremely low coverage of 2.6% in the target age group of 2-8 months.
