Summary
Brief summary
This project aims to assess the impact of rotavirus vaccine introduction on severe gastroenteritis in South Australian children. Prevalence of rotavirus coded hospitalisations and all-cause gastrenteritis hospitalisations will be compared for a two year period prior to introduction of the vaccine and a two year period following introduction of the vaccine. Severity of rotavirus coded admissions during the periods will also be assessed.
