Abstract:
This report describes the results of additional analyses of the trial carried out with the rhesus rotavirus-based quadrivalent vaccine in Venezuela. In the present study, we re-examined the data from this previous rotavirus vaccine trial to assess the statistical interaction between vaccine efficacy and (i) the duration of efficacy into the second year of life, (ii) socioeconomic conditions, and (iii) rotavirus seasonality. We found that among Venezuelan children, the rotavirus vaccine confers protection against severe diarrhea during the first 2 years of life independently of socioeconomic conditions and seasonality.
