    • To inform pediatric nurses about emerging therapeutic and prophylactic strategies for rotavirus.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current literature on rotavirus epidemiology, management, and vaccine development.
    • Analysis of data regarding the efficacy of a novel rhesus rotavirus vaccine.

    Main Results:

    • A quadrivalent oral rhesus rotavirus vaccine demonstrated 80% efficacy against severe rotavirus disease.
    • The vaccine can be administered concurrently with routine infant immunizations.

    Conclusions:

    • New advancements in rotavirus prevention, particularly vaccination, are expected to significantly decrease the disease's impact.
    • Pediatric nurses require updated knowledge on rotavirus management and prevention to optimize patient care.
