  Researchers from Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that transmission of rotavirus vaccine strains in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is rare and without clinical consequences, strongly suggesting that giving the rotavirus vaccine to eligible infants during their hospitalization provides immune benefits that outweigh any risks. The findings, published today in the journal Pediatrics, could serve as the basis for a change in clinical practice. […] As an infectious disease doctor who has worked on Infection Control in NICUs for many years, I was struck by how rarely vaccine virus was transmitted and how it did not cause clinical symptoms, said co-senior study author Susan E. Coffin, MD, an attending physician for the Division of Infectious Diseases at CHOP. Our study, conducted in a large NICU with both multi-bed open pods and private rooms, adds to current evidence suggesting that risk of transmission of vaccine-strain rotavirus to unvaccinated infants in NICU settings is low. […] Ultimately, these findings add to the existing safety data and suggest the known benefits of NICU administration of the rotavirus vaccine outweigh the low risks of vaccine-strain transmission.

  Rotavirus vaccines are used only in infants and are not indicated for use in women of childbearing age. Breastfeeding protects infants against acute gastroenteritis caused by rotavirus. […] However, breastfeeding can reduce the immune response of an infant to rotavirus vaccines in low- and middle-income countries. […] Withholding breastfeeding for up to 2 hours before and after vaccine administration has been recommended to minimize the interference. […] Reviews have concluded that withholding of breastfeeding at the time of vaccination has no effect on seroconversion of infants.

  Two hundred fifty breastfed infants were randomized to receive their routine rotavirus vaccination (Rotarix) with either unrestricted breastfeeding or withholding breastfeeding from 1 hour before to 1 hour after the vaccination. No difference were found in the rate of seroconversion between the two groups of infants. […] Among 45 breastfed (at least 4 times daily) Nicaraguan infants who were given a rotavirus vaccination (Rotateq-MSD), 31 infants seroconverted and 14 infants did not. The seroconversion failures were mostly in infants who had high preimmunization IgA levels and whose mothers had high serum IgG antibody levels against rotavirus.

  Rotavirus causes severe gastroenteritis in infants and young children worldwide. The UK introduced the monovalent rotavirus vaccine (Rotarix) in July 2013. Vaccination is free of charge to parents, with two doses delivered at 8 and 12 weeks of age. […] The uptake of the first and second doses of rotavirus vaccine was 91.4% (29,108/31,836) and 86.7% (27,594/31,836), respectively. Among children aged 5 years, the incidence of gastrointestinal disease decreased across all outcomes post-vaccine introduction: 80% (95% confidence interval [CI] 7087%; p0.001) for RVGE hospitalisation, 44% (95% CI 3553%; p0.001) for AGE hospitalisations, 23% (95% CI 1133%; p0.001) for ED, 32% (95% CI 750%; p=0.02) for WIC and 13% (95% CI -326%; p=0.10) for GP. […] Following the introduction of rotavirus vaccination, incidence of gastrointestinal disease reduced across the health-care system. Vaccine impact was greatest among the most deprived populations, despite lower vaccine uptake. Prioritising vaccine uptake in socioeconomically deprived communities should give the greatest health benefit in terms of population disease burden.

[…] Infants with a history of intussusception should not be given RV vaccine. […] In general, immunocompromised infants should not receive live vaccines because of the risk of disease caused by the vaccine strains. […] Vaccine providers should report intussusception in the first 21 days following any dose of RV vaccine, through local public health officials.
