India-made rotavirus vaccine in action

Apr 23, 2019

Photo Gallery

ROTAVAC®, one of two India-made rotavirus vaccines, was first introduced in India in 2016. The country is scaling up these new domestically produced vaccines as part of routine childhood immunization against the deadliest form of diarrhea.

ROTAVAC® received World Health Organization prequalification in 2018, paving the way for global use. Several countries around the world are now using or planning to introduce ROTAVAC in routine immunization. 

These photos, taken in Assam, India by the International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC), illustrate the lifesaving potential of this vaccine for young children in India and around the world.

For more background on ROTAVAC®'s journey, watch this video from the manufacturer, Bharat Biotech.
