Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe childhood diarrhea. It disproportionately burdens impoverished communities of Africa and Southeast Asia. But nearly every child in the world is at risk. Rotavirus infections cannot be treated with antibiotics or other drugs, making vaccines a vital solution for preventing childhood illness and death. The World Health Organization recommends rotavirus vaccines for all countries.
