Abstract:
Highlighting rotavirus (RV) as a significant food and waterborne pathogen, particularly affecting infants and children, causing serious gastrointestinal infections and dehydration, is important. It should be noted that there are significant debates regarding the effectiveness and outcomes of RV vaccination. In contrast to Turkey's nonmandatory vaccination policy, many developed countries implement mandatory vaccination policies, raising questions about their impact on disease prevalence and healthcare expenditures. Our study aims to comprehensively understand RV infections in Turkey and compare them with countries that have mandatory vaccination policies. We found similar, and even better, hospitalization rates, length of hospital stays, and laboratory parameters demonstrating the effectiveness of Turkey's independent vaccination approach. These findings contribute valuable insights to global vaccination strategies and disease control.
