Table 2.

Risk-benefit of rotavirus vaccination on rotavirus hospitalizations and deaths and associated intussusception risk for one vaccinated birth cohort to age 5 years, multiple countries. While some of these data were not discussed in the meeting, they may help to provide context around the broader issue of intussusception.

Country [ref] Vaccine evaluated Vaccine dose(s) Overall attributable risk (excess IS cases per 100,000 vaccinated infants) Rotavirus outcomes averted IS outcomes caused
Mexico 23 RV1 Dose 1 only 2.0–3.7 Hospitalizations: 11,551 Hospitalizations: 41
        Deaths: 663 Deaths: 2
Brazil 23 RV1 Dose 2 only 1.5 Hospitalizations: 69,572 Hospitalizations: 55
