Abstract

Pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (RV5) coverage and changes in rotavirus detection in the prevaccine and postvaccine era in Chengdu were investigated. The results showed that the coverage of RV5 had been increasing but still relatively low. Nevertheless, the dramatical decline in the rotavirus detection was observed after the introduction of RV5. Efforts to improve the coverage of rotavirus vaccination should continue to maximize the public health benefits.
