Rotavirus Advocacy Activities
In developing countries, over half a million children die from rotavirus every year. Another two million children are severely sickened and hospitalized by the disease. Rotavirus is the most common cause of diarrheal hospitalizations and deaths among children worldwide. Development of a rotavirus vaccine has been a global health priority for many years, and with two vaccines currently on the market, the promise of prevention is now becoming reality in several parts of the world.
