Why is it Necessary to Vaccinate Against Rotavirus?
Rotavirus is a leading cause of severe gastroenteritis in infants and young children, particularly among those aged 6 to 24 months. There is no medication to treat rotavirus infections; only symptom relief is possible. In Hong Kong, approximately 1 in every 24 children under 5 years old is hospitalized each year due to rotavirus infection. Vaccination is the best method to prevent rotavirus infection, effectively reducing the risks of severe dehydration, hospitalization, and death.
