I E Haffejee. J Infect. 1991 Mar.

Abstract

The status of rotavirus (RV) vaccines in 1990 is reviewed with particular reference to the range of RV strains which infect human beings as well as the antibody response and immunity to naturally acquired RV infections. The requirements for an ideal vaccine are stated and the various approaches towards developing RV vaccines are described. Results of various field trials are given and finally important questions are posed which remain to be addressed if success in producing an ideal vaccine is to be achieved.
