Dear Collegues, dear Friends,. Welcome to the 3rd European Expert Meeting on Rotavirus Vaccination! Join your colleagues to discuss and, hopefully, promote, rotavirus vaccination in Europe. Since the first and second European Expert meetings on Rotavirus vaccination in Helsinki (2009) and Padova (2011) our knowledge and experience on rotavirus vaccination has expanded considerably.. Rotavirus is still the main cause of severe acute diarrhoea in infancy and early childhood around the world. It is still associated with high mortality in poorer countries. Before licensure two rotavirus vaccines were tested worldwide for safety, immunogenicity and efficacy in 2 trials comprising over 60 000 infants each. One of these is a single-strain attenuated human rotavirus vaccine (RV1), while the other is a combination of five bovine-human reassortant rotaviruses (RV5). Although their presumed mechanism of action might be very different side effects and effectiveness are close to identical. Both vaccines ...

Oral polio and rotavirus vaccines are significantly less effective in children living in the developing world. Tropical enteropathy, which is associated with intestinal inflammation, decreased absorption and increased permeability, may contribute substantially to oral vaccine failure in developing country settings. Other possible causes of oral vaccine underperformance include malnutrition, interference with maternal or breastmilk antibodies, changes in gut microbiota, and genetic susceptibility.. Primary Objective: to determine whether tropical enteropathy impairs the efficacy of oral polio and rotavirus vaccines in children in Bangladesh.. Secondary Objectives: 1) to determine the impact of an inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) boost on the efficacy of oral polio vaccine and 2) to determine the efficacy of oral rotavirus vaccine to prevent rotavirus diarrhea. The polio and rotavirus randomized clinical trials are embedded as secondary objectives within the exploratory study of tropical ...

A 2009 review estimated that vaccination against rotavirus would prevent about 45% of deaths due to rotavirus gastroenteritis, or about 228,000 deaths annually worldwide. At US$5 per dose, the estimated cost per life saved was $3,015, $9,951 and $11,296 in low-, lower-middle-, and upper-middle-income countries, respectively.[8] Safety and efficacy trials in Africa and Asia found that the vaccines dramatically reduced severe disease among infants in developing countries, where a majority of rotavirus-related deaths occur.[9][10] A 2019 Cochrane review concluded that RV1, RV5, and Rotavac vaccines are safe and are effective at preventing diarrhea.[3] Rotavirus vaccines are licensed in more than 100 countries, and more than 80 countries have introduced routine rotavirus vaccination.[11] The incidence and severity of rotavirus infections has declined significantly in countries that have acted on the recommendation to introduce the rotavirus vaccine.[12] In Mexico, which in 2006 was among the first ...
Background. Rotavirus vaccines have been introduced in many low-income African countries including Malawi in 2012. Despite early evidence of vaccine impact, determining persistence of protection beyond infancy, the utility of the vaccine against specific rotavirus genotypes, and effectiveness in vulnerable subgroups is important. Methods. We compared rotavirus prevalence in diarrheal stool and hospitalization incidence before and following rotavirus vaccine introduction in Malawi. Using case-control analysis, we derived vaccine effectiveness (VE) in the second year of life and for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-exposed and stunted children. Results. Rotavirus prevalence declined concurrent with increasing vaccine coverage, and in 2015 was 24% compared with prevaccine mean baseline in 1997-2011 of 32%. Since vaccine introduction, population rotavirus hospitalization incidence declined in infants by 54.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 32.8-68.8), but did not fall in older children. Comparing ...
The investigators aim to establish the non-inferiority of concomitant administration of measles-rubella and rotavirus vaccines to measles-rubella vaccine given alone in terms of measles seroconversion rates. The primary study hypothesis is the measles seroconversion rate as defined by the percentage of children seroconverting to measles with a measles serum antibody concentration of ,=1:120 at 8 weeks post vaccination after the concomitant administration of measles-rubella and rotavirus vaccines is non-inferior to that obtained when measles-rubella vaccine is given alone in children 9 months of age who have received a primary rotavirus vaccine series with the first dose between 6 and 10 weeks and the second at least 4 weeks later and are seronegative for measles antibody in the pre-vaccination sample ...

January 2014, Volume 33 - Supplement 1. Rotavirus Disease Burden in Africa. Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe diarrhea among children under 5 years of age worldwide and is responsible for significant mortality and morbidity. Africa has one of the greatest burdens of rotavirus disease globally with over half of all rotavirus deaths occurring in African children. Two live, oral, attenuated rotavirus vaccines are licensed and available for use. These vaccines are starting to be introduced in countries throughout Africa and are poised to have a substantial impact across the continent. This supplement highlights data on rotavirus disease burden in Africa prior to rotavirus vaccine introduction. As the vaccines are rolled out across Africa, these studies, coupled with ongoing sentinel surveillance, will provide important data against which the impact of rotavirus vaccine can be measure. ...
Bio Farma, Indonesias national vaccine company, is completing a phase 1 trial of a new rotavirus vaccine invented in Melbourne and has started pilot manufacture of the vaccine. Licencing trials are next, followed hopefully by release of the new vaccine in 2021. The project is the culmination of a 42-year partnership
This vaccine was efficacious in preventing rotavirus gastroenteritis, decreasing severe disease and health care contacts. The risk of intussusception was similar in vaccine and placebo recipients. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00090233.)
This article, published in Clinical Infectious Diseases, summarizes a study that assessed vaccine effectiveness of RotaTeq (RV5; 3 doses) and Rotarix (RV1; 2 doses) at reducing rotavirus acute gastroenteritis inpatient and emergency department (ED) visits in US children. Results showed that RV5 and RV1 were 84 percent and 70 percent effective, respectively, against rotavirus-associated ED visits and hospitalizations combined. Therefore, both RV5 and RV1 significantly protected against medically attended rotavirus gastroenteritis in this assessment. ABSTRACT ONLY.

To the Editor: After the substantial decrease in acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children caused by rotavirus after introduction of 2 rotavirus vaccines (1), norovirus has become the leading cause of medically attended AGE in US children ,5 years of age (2). We describe the clinical characteristics of norovirus disease and assessed whether rotavirus vaccine protected against norovirus AGE.. During October 2008-September 2010, the New Vaccine Surveillance Network enrolled 1,897 children ,5 years of age with symptoms of AGE (≥3 episodes of diarrhea or any episodes of vomiting within 24 hours lasting ≤10 days) who came to hospitals, emergency departments, and outpatient clinics in Cincinnati, Ohio; Nashville, Tennessee; and Rochester, New York, USA, as described (2).. Epidemiologic, clinical, and vaccination data were systematically collected. Whole fecal specimens were obtained within 14 days of the date of visit and tested for rotavirus by using a commercial enzyme immunoassay (Rotaclone; ...
Influenza Vaccine Reduces Risk of Adverse Cardiovascular Events in High-Risk Patients [POEMs] This meta-analysis found that the influenza vaccine is associated with a significantly lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in adults with coronary disease.

GAITHERSBURG, Md. -- DNA from a pig virus has been detected in Mercks RotaTeq rotavirus vaccine, an FDA official announced during the opening session of a hearing on rotavirus vaccines.
The continued risk of severe disease in non-primary natural infections in low SES is a key factor underpinning reduced efficacy of rotavirus vaccines. Predicted efficacy was remarkably consistent with observed clinical trial results from different SES, validating the model. The phenomenon of reduced vaccine efficacy can be predicted by intrinsic immunological and epidemiological factors of low SES populations. Modifying aspects of the vaccine (e.g. improving immunogenicity in low SES) and vaccination program (e.g. additional doses) may bring improvements ...
The two rotavirus vaccines on the market are not cost-effective for routine immunisation, a Health Protection Agency analysis reveals.. Researchers concluded the vaccines would have to become extremely competitively priced before they would be suitable for the UK childhood schedule.. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation recently decided to set up a sub-group to examine rotavirus vaccination, but the new study suggests they are unlikely to recommend it until prices come down.. Researchers found that a programme using Rotateq, at £25 a dose, would cost £79,000 per quality-adjusted life year gained, and using Rotatrix at £35 a dose would cost £61,000 per QALY.. The NICE outer threshold for cost-effectiveness is £30,000 per QALY.. Dr Mark Jit, an author on the study and health economist at the HPA, said: Our analysis indicates routine rotavirus vaccination can have a substantial impact on the short-term morbidity burden. However, it would only be cost effective in the UK if ...

In 2010, some 7 million infants or [an estimated] 66 percent of the infants born in Latin America and the Caribbean were immunized against rotavirus infection, leading to substantial declines in the burden of hospitalizations and deaths from diarrhea in this region. Two effective rotavirus vaccines are now available for protecting children against rotavirus infection, the leading cause of childhood diarrhea, and the World Health Organization recommends these vaccines for all infants worldwide. By 2011, 14 of the 32 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean had made the vaccine available for all infants through their national immunization program. Studies from countries in this region have shown declines in the burden of hospitalizations and deaths related to severe diarrhea after rotavirus vaccine introduction. The successful uptake of rotavirus vaccines in these low-income and middle-income countries demonstrates that new vaccines can successfully reach the target populations in a timely ...
GPs in England and Wales begin vaccinating infants against rotavirus from today, as another of the changes to this years routine immunisation schedule gets underway.
To the Editor We read with interest the Research Letter of Perrett et al on the association of rotavirus vaccination with the incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children in Australia. Comparing the observed or model-based incidence of T1D before and after the introduction of the oral rotavirus vaccination to the Australian National Immunisation Program in 2007, Perrett et al provided evidence t...
And thats how vaccine science works these days: Suppress any evidence of harm, deny any links between vaccines and neurological problems, then okay practically any viral contamination from any animal and declare its all safe to be injected directly into the bodies of infants and children. So much for science, huh? The vaccine industry operates more like a cult than a scientific organization, and anyone who questions the beliefs of their cult is immediately branded a heretic and publicly condemned. By the way, even though these rotavirus vaccines are contaminated with a pig virus, the companies that make them claim there is no manufacturing or safety issue with the vaccines. In other words, this is normal! Think about that for a moment: The discovery that a vaccine being injected into children is contaminated with a virus from a pig doesnt even result in a product recall! It doesnt raise any red flags! Its just business as usual in the vaccine industry, where DNA from any number of ...
Abstract. Despite the high burden of rotavirus diarrhea, uptake of rotavirus vaccines in Asia remains low. This primarily stems from a perception of rotavirus as a non-life-threatening pathogen amidst a background of competing health priorities and limited resources. In the largest pediatric hospital of Bangladesh, where there is a fierce competition for beds, we found that between November 2015 and October 2016, 12% of 23,064 admissions were due to gastrointestinal infections, 54% of which were caused by rotavirus. One in four cases requiring hospitalization, or 5,879 cases, was refused because of unavailability of beds. Most refused cases were of pneumonia (22%), severe perinatal asphyxia (17%), preterm birth complications (7%), and meningitis (2%), all of which bear high risks of death or disability, if not treated timely. When determining vaccine policies and conducting vaccine impact studies, it would be shortsighted to not consider the impact on morbidity and mortality of cases that are refused
Comparisons of different rotavirus vaccines are difficult to make with a lot of precision because of the differing populations, protocols, attack rates, and study procedures which have been employed to assess the efficacy of the vaccines. Given the rather recent deployment of the vaccines, there are very limited evidence on their effectiveness in the population/community-setting.…
The Rotavirus vaccine - an American vaccine against childhood diarrhea and dehydration - has been found to cause pneumonia!. It has already been withdrawn once for causing intersuption of the bowel (where the bowel sticks together - the condition can be life threatening if not treated).. Now the FDA have said that according to 11 trials, rotavirus vaccine causes pneumonia, bronchitis, convulsions and death.. 63,000 children were given the vaccine and there was a statistically significant increase in the number of pneumonia deaths compared with the placebo, and the rotavirus vaccine group also had more bronchitis and a higher rate of convulsions.. The FDA now want to bring in an oral rotavirus vaccine instead of using the injection.. Source: Reuters, 15 February 2008.. ...

There are currently two rotavirus vaccines available in the United States that are designed to eliminate severe gastroenteritis caused by rotavirus infection.
The Department of Health has announced that rotavirus vaccine will be added to the childhood vaccination programme with effect from September 2013.. Rotavirus is reported as causing approximately 140,000 cases of diarrhoea per year in the children under 5 years old. Of these some 14,000 cases result in a hospital admission. It is expected that the introduction of this vaccine will reduce hospital admissions by up to 70%. The vaccine is a live oral vaccine and two doses are recommended.. The JCVI statement recommending the vaccine provides further analysis and detail. Action: Clinicians involved in the delivery of the child immunisations should be aware of this change. More information about this vaccine should be expected before September 2013.. ...

We observed declines in rates of diarrhea-associated hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and outpatient visits in US children ,5 years of age over four successive rotavirus seasons following implementation of rotavirus vaccination, with greater declines in later years when greater vaccine coverage had been achieved and during months of the year with peak rotavirus activity. Both RV5 and RV1 were highly effective in preventing rotavirus-coded hospitalizations and also prevented diarrhea-associated hospitalizations and emergency department visits; both vaccines conferred similar protection. The protection from RV5 vaccination against rotavirus-coded hospitalizations was sustained at a high level through four years of life, with no indication of waning immunity. The reduction in rotavirus-coded hospitalization rates among unvaccinated children in postvaccine years compared with prevaccine years indicates indirect benefits from vaccination; the magnitude of indirect benefit varied over ...

Young Indigenous children living in remote central and northern Australia suffer a heavy burden of rotavirus and other diarrhoeal diseases. In October 2006, the human rotavirus vaccine (Rotarix™, GSK) was introduced into the routine vaccination schedule for all Northern Territory (NT) infants. The studies in this thesis aim to evaluate the impact of rotavirus vaccination in the NT on serious (hospitalised) disease in children. Active hospital-based surveillance was undertaken for two years at both major hospitals in the NT in order to ascertain hospitalisations for gastroenteritis and to assemble a control-cohort of children admitted with respiratory symptoms. Children were tested for rotavirus by enzyme immunoassay (EIA), and tested for other enteric pathogens using a combination of microscopy, culture and molecular methods. A case-cohort analysis was used to determine the effectiveness of rotavirus vaccination against hospitalisation for gastroenteritis. The results were validated using a ...
Johannesburg - Global health dignitaries opened the 9th International Rotavirus Symposium in Johannesburg, South Africa, today. The worlds leading experts on rotavirus will focus on the global burden and the opportunity to significantly reduce child deaths through vaccination against rotavirus in developing countries of Africa and Asia. Over 300 scientists, policymakers, and public health professionals are attending the symposium, convened by four international nonprofit organizations and agencies.. Rotavirus, the leading cause of severe diarrhea, claims the lives of more than 500,000 children under five years of age every year and causes the hospitalization of millions more. Almost half of these deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa. Although six of the seven countries with the highest infant mortality rates from rotavirus are in Africa, only two percent of the continent has access to rotavirus vaccines. South Africa is the first and only African nation to have introduced rotavirus vaccine into ...
Each year rotavirus gastroenteritis results in thousands of paediatric hospitalisations and primary care visits in the Netherlands. While two vaccines against rotavirus are registered, routine immunisation of infants has not yet been implemented. Existing cost-effectiveness studies showed inconsistent results for these vaccines because of lack of consensus on the impact. We aimed to investigate which factors had a major impact on cost-effectiveness and were primarily responsible for the large differences in previously estimated cost-effectiveness ratios. Based on updated data on health outcomes and cost estimates, we re-assessed the cost-effectiveness of routine paediatric rotavirus vaccination within the National Immunization Program for the Netherlands. Two consensus meetings were organised with national and international experts in the field to achieve consensus and resolve potential controversies. It was estimated that rotavirus vaccination in the Netherlands could avert 34,214 cases of rotavirus
DAVE MIHALOVIC) Public health officials are routinely failing to inform the public of their right to refuse vaccines in both school and work settings. Greater powers are at work to make mandatory vaccination policies which will allow officials to conduct childhood vaccinations without any parental consent at all. The inventor of the rotavirus vaccine wants all exemptions based on religious or philosophical grounds to end along with informed consent and the freedom to choose.. Paul A. Offit, MD is an American pediatrician who specializes in infectious disease and is also the co-inventor of a rotavirus vaccine. He has stated:. Children whose parents hold certain religious beliefs shouldnt be afforded less protection than other children. That the commonwealth has allowed children to die from measles, bacterial pneumonia, or leukemia in the name of religion is inexplicable. That it continues to allow such abuse in the face of recent deaths is unconscionable. … should repeal its religious ...
The 60 intussusception cases reported to VAERS that occurred within 1 week of receipt of RRV-TV demonstrated an increase in the risk of intussusception during the week after receipt of RRV-TV. Compared with the estimated number of cases expected, this risk was increased at least fourfold. These findings most likely differ from those observed in the prelicensure study3 because the latter reviewed RRV-TV data in conjunction with data from 2 other rotavirus vaccine formulations. Furthermore, prelicensure trials frequently have too few children studied to detect a rare adverse event.. Intussusception cases reported to VAERS were clustered in the 3- to 7-day period after rotavirus vaccination. This distribution is distinctly different from that generally observed for reported adverse events after vaccination, with approximately two thirds of reports to VAERS concerning events on the day of vaccination (45.5%) or the following day (20.4%), and a rapid decline thereafter.8The clustering of ...
Rotavirus vaccine was introduced in El Salvador in 2006 and is recommended to be given concomitantly with DTP-HepB-Haemophilus influenzae type b (pentavalent) vaccine at ages 2 months (upper age limit 15 weeks) and 4 months (upper age limit 8 months) of age. However, rotavirus vaccination coverage continues to lag behind that of pentavalent vaccine, even in years when national rotavirus vaccine stock-outs have not occurred. We analyzed factors associated with receipt of oral rotavirus vaccine among children who received at least 2 doses of pentavalent vaccine in a stratified cluster survey of children aged 24-59 months conducted in El Salvador in 2011. Vaccine doses included were documented on vaccination cards (94.4%) or in health facility records (5.6%). Logistic regression and survival analysis were used to assess factors associated with vaccination status and age at vaccination. Receipt of pentavalent vaccine by age 15 weeks was associated with rotavirus vaccination (OR: 5.1; 95% CI 2.7, ...
The government of Kazakhstan, a middle-income country in Central Asia, is considering the introduction of rotavirus vaccination into its national immunization program. We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis of rotavirus vaccination spanning 20 years by using a synthesis of dynamic transmission models accounting for herd protection. We found that a vaccination program with 90% coverage would prevent ≈880 rotavirus deaths and save an average of 54,784 life-years for children ...
Newswise - Implementation of infant rotavirus vaccination in 2006 has substantially reduced the burden of severe gastroenteritis among U.S. children younger than 5 years, write Paul A. Gastanaduy, M.D., M.P.H., of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, and colleagues. Whether indirect protection (due to reduced transmission of rotavirus) extends to adults remains unclear.. As reported in a Research Letter, the authors assessed patterns of gastroenteritis hospitalizations among children 5 years of age or older and among adults before and after implementation of infant rotavirus immunization. Rotavirus-coded and cause-unspecified gastroenteritis discharges from January 2000 through December 2010 were retrieved from a nationally representative database of hospital inpatient stays, the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Estimates were determined of annual and monthly incidence rate ratios (RR) of the postvaccine years (2008, 2009, and 2010) separately and combined vs. the prevaccine ...
Rotavirus infection has been reported to be responsible for the majority of severe diarrhea in children under-5-years-old in Indonesia. Breast milk is considered to give protection against rotavirus infection. Increasing breastfeeding promotion programs could be an alternative target to reduce the incidence of rotavirus diarrhea. This study aims to investigate the effect of breastfeeding promotion interventions on cost-effectiveness of rotavirus immunization in Indonesia, focusing on breastfeeding education and support interventions. An age-structured cohort model was developed for the 2011 Indonesia birth cohort. We compared four interventions in scenarios: (i) base-case (I 0 ) reflecting the current situation for the population of under-5-years-old, (ii) with an additional breastfeeding education intervention (I 1 ), (iii) with a support intervention on initiation and duration (I 2 )
Unless babies are vaccinated, almost all of them get rotavirus, the doctor told me. Having the vaccine available for free in Gaza can save babies and parents from so much suffering... - Majdoolin, first-time mother, Gaza City. The rotavirus vaccine, which RVF worked with the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MOH) to introduce in 2016, is already having a huge impact on young children in the West Bank and Gaza. In Gaza, there has already been a 28% reduction in rates of children aged three years and under hospitalized for diarrhea. In the West Bank, there are over a third fewer cases of severe diarrhea in children under five.. Rotavirus disease, which causes severe diarrhea, is a killer of infants and young children throughout the world. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent rotavirus infection. All Palestinian babies now receive this life-saving vaccine. To date, nearly 400,000 infants have been fully immunized with coverage rates over 95%.. RVF expects rates of severe diarrhea in ...
If your child develops rotavirus, he or she may not be able to attend day care or school while he or she is ill. If your child is hospitalized, he or she will be isolated from other children to prevent an outbreak in the hospital.. A rotavirus vaccine that was approved by the FDA in 1998 was pulled from the market in 1999 because of an association between the vaccine and an increased risk for intussusception in infants younger than age 1. (Intussusception means a portion of the intestine telescopes within another immediately adjacent portion of intestine.) However, no direct link was established to the vaccine as a cause of intussusception.. The FDA has approved two oral rotavirus vaccines, RotaTeq and Rotarix. No risk for intussusception was found in clinical trials with the vaccines. The CDC recommends that infants receive either the RotaTeq oral vaccine at age 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months or the Rotarix oral vaccine at age 2 months and 4 months.. Click here to view ...
However, the vaccines appear to show relatively lower efficacy and immunogenicity in some low- to middle-income countries in Africa and Asia.8-11 In an African study, two or three doses of Rotarix® were found to reduce the incidence of severe rotavirus gastroenteritis during the first year of life by 77% in South Africa and 49% in Malawi.8 RotaTeq® was found to have vaccine efficacies - again measured against severe rotavirus disease in the first year of life - of 64% in a multicentre trial in Ghana, Kenya and Mali9 and of 51% in a separate study based in Bangladesh and Viet Nam.10 Other live oral vaccines, such as those against polio and cholera and earlier potential rotavirus vaccines, have also shown relatively lower efficacies when tested in low-income countries.12 ...
The advantages of convenience and room temperature stability associated with our quick dissolving thin film delivery system can be broadly used. The thin film system is applicable to all oral vaccines and oral protein based therapeutic drugs, as well as biopharmaceuticals that can be converted to the oral route. The impact on vaccines could be transformational for infectious diseases such as shigellosis and rotaviral gastroenteritis which combined cause over 1 million deaths in children every year in the developing world. Considering rotavirus alone, the demand for any vaccine will likely be high since all children by the age of five will have been infected by rotavirus and many children in third world countries will die. Currently, it is recommended that all new born infants in the U.S. be given rotavirus vaccine and it is highly likely that most of the world will follow this recommendation. It is estimated that the required annual worldwide rotavirus vaccine doses will be greater than 400 ...
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), Save the Children, UNICEF and the World Health Organisation (WHO) welcome the opportunity to make rotavirus vaccine available to more children living in humanitarian crises thanks to a landmark pricing agreement with the manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK).

Rotavirus is a severe form of viral gastroenteritis that causes a stomach infection, accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, fever and dehydration. This virus is highly contagious and can easily spread to others when a child gets sick. The duration of this virus is longer, and more likely to lead to hospitalization, than other forms of gastroenteritis. Thats why the immunization program was started in 2011.. Lead author of the research study is Dr. Sarah Wilson, a medical epidemiologist at PHO and an adjunct scientist at ICES. Wilsons team looked at data from 2005-2013 that involved more than 864,000 hospitalization and emergency room records for rotavirus infections and acute gastroenteritis in Ontario, focusing on the time before the introduction of the provinces rotavirus vaccine program and comparing it to the time after the program was in place.. The researchers expected a significant drop in the numbers of infants and toddlers who needed hospitalization and emergency room care after being ...
THURSDAY, June 20, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- In the midst of the anti-vaxxer movement comes more scientific proof that vaccines help save childrens lives.. Researchers report that since the 2006 introduction of a vaccine against rotavirus -- a common and potentially fatal cause of infant diarrhea -- U.S. cases have fallen dramatically.. Whats more, the rotavirus season is now much shorter, shrinking from 26 weeks each year before the vaccines introduction to just 9 weeks duration today.. This all attests to the long-term benefits of the rotavirus vaccination program, concluded a team led by Benjamin Howell. Hes with the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, part of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.. Rotavirus used to be the most common cause of severe vomiting and diarrhea in the United States, and its highly contagious, noted Dr. Sophia Jan, who wasnt involved in the new research. Shes chief of pediatrics at Cohen Childrens Medical Center ...
Real-time RT-PCR assays to differentiate wild-type group A rotavirus strains from Rotarix® and RotaTeq® vaccine strains in stool samples Abstract Group A rotaviruses (RVA) are the leading cause of severe diarrhea in young children worldwide. Two live-attenuated RVA vaccines, Rotarix® and RotaTeq® are recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) for routine immunization of all infants.…
Worldwide, rotavirus is the leading cause of severe acute diarrhea in children aged |5 years. In the United States, before introduction of a live, oral pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (RV5) in 2006, rotavirus caused an estimated 20 to 60 deaths, 55,000 to 70,000 hospitalizations, 205,000 to 272,000 …

We examined associations between B and T cell phenotypic profiles and antibody responses to the pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (RV5) in perinatally HIV-infected infants (PHIV) on antiretroviral therapy and in HIV-exposed uninfected infants (PHEU) enrolled in IMPAACT P1072 study (NCT00880698). Of 17 B and T cell subsets analyzed, PHIV and PHEU differed only in the number of CD4+ T cells and frequency of naive B cells, which were higher in PHEU than in PHIV. In contrast, the B and T cell phenotypic profiles of PHIV and PHEU markedly differed from those of geographically-matched contemporary HIV-unexposed infants. The frequency of regulatory T and B cells (Treg, Breg) of PHIV and PHEU displayed two patterns of associations: FOXP3+CD25+ Treg positively correlated with CD4+ T cell numbers; while TGF-b+ Treg and IL10+ Treg and Breg positively correlated with the frequencies of inflammatory and activated T cells. Moreover, the frequencies of activated and inflammatory T cells of PHIV and PHEU positively

Efforts to vaccinate infants against rotavirus could save the lives of millions of children in developing nations who would otherwise die from the diarrhea-causing disease, two new studies show, HealthDay/BusinsessWeek reports. The studies track diarrhea deaths among children vaccinated against rotavirus in Africa and Mexico and appear in the Jan. 28 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (Thomas, 1/27). Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe diarrhea, which kills more than 500, 000 children under 5 every year, nearly half of them in Africa, Reuters writes. Widespread use of rotavirus vaccines in the developing world could prevent the deaths of two million children over the next decade, according to the new service (Fox, 1/27). In one study, researchers gave infants from Malawi and South Africa the rotavirus vaccine, and found the vaccine reduced their rate of rotavirus by more than 61 percent during the first year of life (Nadhi et al., 1/28). In a second study, researchers ...
While the vaccine protects individual children from getting rotavirus, herd immunity also plays an important role. According to the studys researchers, Herd immunity occurs when a childs chance of coming into contact with a germ drops because so many other people are also immune to the bug, and are therefore not passing it on. Since infants are routinely vaccinated against rotavirus, the virus is no longer as common as it once was. As a result, children who cannot be vaccinated because of allergies or underlying medical conditions are protected from getting the virus as well ...
Dr. Paternina-Caicedo started his global health work in his native Colombia, by studying the impact of rotavirus vaccination on child disease, reporting the effectiveness, impact and cost-effectiveness of the rotavirus vaccine to prevent rotavirus diarrheal disease and deaths in Colombia, Latin America and low and middle -income countries worldwide. Since then, Dr. Paternina-Caicedo has focused his research on the impact of different interventions in children and special populations, assessing in Colombia the cost-effectiveness of the varicella vaccine in children, HAART in HIV/AIDS population, mass pneumococcal vaccination in elderly population, and burden of H1N1 in pregnant women in Colombia during the pandemic. He is an expert collaborator for the Global Burden of Disease study with the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. He is working to identify the severity profile of some vector-borne diseases in children, including dengue and chikungunya ...
Group A rotavirus is responsible for inducing severe diarrhea in young children worldwide. Rotavirus vaccines are used to control the disease in many countries. In the current study, the sequences of human rotavirus G and P types in Saudi Arabia are reported and compared to different relevant published sequences. In addition, the VP4 and VP7 genes of the G1P[8] strains are compared to different an ...
Abu Dhabi, UAE: Vaccination against rotavirus, the leading cause of severe dehydrating diarrhoea and infection in infants, is now part of the childhood imm
by Barbara Loe Fisher. In the past few months, the American public has been informed that two infant diarrhea vaccines - GlaxoSmithKlines Rotarix and Mercks RotaTeq - are contaminated with pig virus DNA. 1,2 But theres a difference between the two vaccines: Rotarix contains parts of a pig virus that does not make pigs sick while Mercks RotaTeq contains parts of a pig virus that kills baby pigs. 3,4,5. How many mothers know that, when Mercks diarrhea vaccine is squirted into the mouths of their two month old babies, they are swallowing parts of a pig virus that suppresses the immune systems of baby pigs so badly, they waste away and can suffer respiratory, kidney, reproductive and brain damage before dying? 6,7,8. And how many doctors and nurses making babies swallow rotavirus vaccines know that?. And how many members of Congress, who are responsible for oversight of federal health agencies charged with ensuring vaccine safety, know that?. And how many mainstream media outlets are not ...
The Rotavirus Accelerated Vaccine Introduction Network (RAVIN) is a partnership led by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC), in collaboration with JSI and CDC, and is designed to provide policy, advocacy, and technical support to focus countries throughout the entire continuum of introducing rotavirus vaccine (RVV) - from the consideration and decision-making process to implementation and post-launch activities.. IVAC leads the RAVIN partnership as the connective tissue between JSI, CDC, and in-country WHO and UNICEF teams. RAVIN supports countries to accelerate the process of rolling out RVV and provides technical assistance activities such as: supporting the creation of high-quality Gavi applications, contributing to the introduction planning and roll-out of RVV in-country, and providing post-launch supportive supervision and monitoring.. RAVIN also partners with its sister organization, ROTA Council to build evidence and support the ...
India is rolling out a new program to expedite the diagnosis of pediatric tuberculosis (TB) and multi-drug resistant TB cases to speed treatment. While children generally respond well to TB treatments, a pediatric TB case is usually severe and requires a quick, accurate diagnosis to ensure effective treatment. FIND and the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program have worked in India to establish an infrastructure to aid in accurately and quickly diagnosing children, developing a courier system to quickly relay samples from clinic to lab for diagnosis and relay results back to the health provider via text message within 24 hours. The organizations have also led an initiative that has added over 600 GeneXpert diagnostic machines throughout India. Indias goal is to make the GeneXpert machines a front-line tool for TB diagnosis.. Research conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Sanofi has created an antibody capable of killing 99 percent of HIV strains. Fighting HIV is ...

It all began in the early 1970s, when vaccines for 20 diseases became available to high-risk population groups. Over the years, vaccines have become used for mass campaigns on a global scale, with national immunization programmes protecting millions of children from disease and death. Throughout the past 40 years, however, the question of cost and the economics of immunization has arisen. Is it cost-effective? Who is paying for it? These questions are becoming more relevant as new vaccines become available, new funding sources are being identified and new goals are being designed. Here are a few points I found of interest in the WHOs state of the worlds vaccines and immunization report Costs: In the 1980s- total annual expenditure on immunization in developing countries averaged out at an estimated US$ 3.50-5.00 per live birth. Beyond 2010, scaling up vaccine coverage with new vaccines - such as pneumococcal and rotavirus vaccines - to meet the MDGs and the GIVS goals is likely to raise the ...
4. Antibiotics - annihilate good gut bacteria and therefore severely decreases immune system. Doctors inappropriately prescribe antibiotics for viral infections and make matters much worse!. #5. HPV vaccine (human papillomavirus) - known to send teens into anaphylactic shock and comas. Thousands of families have sued the manufacturers for millions of dollars for chronic and permanent health damages.. #6. Chemotherapy - annihilates the immune system and often leads to the body forming new cancers, especially in the blood. Nazi scientists knew in the 1950s that chemotherapy only makes cancer temporarily recede, only to come back with a vengeance in other parts of the body! (Still, Western Medicine calls this successful). #7. RotaTeq rotavirus vaccine - extremely toxic (oral) vaccine contains LIVE rotavirus strains (G1, G2, G3, G4, and P1), plus highly toxic polysorbate 80 and FETAL BOVINE SERUM. Also contains parts of porcine circovirus - a virus that INFECTS PIGS.. ...

The subject was hospitalised and the physician considered the event was life threatening and clinically significant (or requiring intervention). At the time of reporting the event was resolved. The vaccination course with ROTARIX was discontinued. The physician considered the event was probably related to vaccination with ...
Rotavirus is nothing but a virus that is known to cause diarrhoea and other related conditions in both babies as well as young adults. The virus is quite serious and may lead to high fever along with nausea and vomiting. The rotavirus vaccine is the vaccine that will go a long way in helping to free your baby from all the above-mentioned conditions. One of the things that you must remember is the fact that in case your child has rotavirus before you take the vaccine, the vaccine shall not work.. ...
The new vaccine is also adapted to the type of rotavirus most commonly found in sub-Saharan countries. It is affordable, with a price of under US$2.50, which is much cheaper than the lowest price of rotavirus vaccines currently available. This should allow it to be rolled out quickly as part of routine immunization programmes. The new vaccine, manufactured by Serum Institute of India Pvt Ltd, will also fill the current supply gaps for the existing vaccines ...

The vaccine is given at ages 2, 4, 6 (with some brands), and 12 to 15 months of age.. PCV ...
Drug companies create a market for their product even though the risk for the disease is practically nonexistent and the vaccine is highly dangerous for animals. Human medicine is not exempt from this travesty with the Glaxo Smith Kline Hepatitis B vaccine, the Merck Gardasil vaccine, the Bird Flu and the Swine flu vaccines all resulting in calls for investigation and criminal charges to be brought against the WHO. WHO Vaccine Advisor, Juhane Eskola made over 6 million Euros researching vaccines for the recent swine flu pandemic. Similarly, the CDC Childhood Vaccine Advisor, Dr. Paul Offit made so much money with Merck making a rotavirus vaccine that he said it was like winning the lottery. US courts ordered the recall of the Lymerix vaccine based on adverse events and subsequently stated that federal employees should never be allowed to consult in areas where they set federal policy. In veterinary medi- cine, many researchers are paid employees of the pharmaceutical companies. Despite being ...
The CDC recommends several vaccines for most children and teens between birth and age 18. Many vaccines require a few doses given weeks, months or years apart to help develop strong immunity. So even if your child had a specific vaccine before age 2, he or she may need another shot between ages 4-6 or 11-12 to get full benefits. Because immunity can wear off over time, booster shots may be recommended at later ages, too. Odds are good that you are familiar with certain vaccines, such as those that protect against polio or measles. You might scratch your head about others like the pneumococcal vaccine (it helps block bacteria that can cause pneumonia and infections in the blood, brain and spinal cord), or the rotavirus vaccine (it helps prevent infection with a contagious virus that is the leading cause of severe diarrhea in children, prompting dehydration and sometimes hospitalizations). If you have questions, talk to your health care provider. Or learn more about vaccines through the Blue Cross ...
New Delhi, India - September 3, 2014 - The Eleventh International Rotavirus Symposium today began just two months after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the Government of India would provide a rotavirus vaccine to all Indian children, and weeks before the highly anticipated UN General Assemblys 69th opening session, which will assess progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs ...
By Christina England While reading the results of a vaccination trial on premature babies funded by GlaxoSmithKline, I noticed something was not quite right.

A focused market-shaping approach remains a relatively young and rapidly evolving dimension of global health. While there is still much to be done, CHAI and our partners have demonstrated that market shaping can be used to impact health outcomes and achieve significant savings for governments and donors. Successes have been achieved across a number of product and disease areas.. One example is in the area of vaccines. Working with the Department for International Development (DFID), the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, WHO, GAVI and UNICEF, CHAI helped to secure a 45 percent reduction in the price of pentavalent vaccine, which will result in at least $225 million in savings over five years and allow a greater number of children to be immunized and a greater number of lives to be saved with existing funding. CHAI also helped these partners to secure a 67 percent reduction in the price of rotavirus vaccine, which will result in over $650 million in savings over five years. Finally, CHAI ...
We have a great pediatrician and nurse whom I love, and Clara warms right up to them as well. Plus, they know just what to say to a mom, Oh, she is so beautiful! or What a good baby! -- you know, things like that (that are all true). I love going to the doctor to see how much she has grown, but it was very hard to watch her get those shots. She drank the rotavirus vaccine like it was koolaid - the nurse commented that shed never seen a 2 month old take it without a fuss. Then came the shots - three of them! Thankfully the nurse was FAST, but of course Clara started crying as soon as the first needle went in. She cried for a few minutes, then calmed down after we snuggled for a while, and fell asleep in her car seat on our way out. She slept for almost four hours ...
