Abstract
Togo introduced monovalent rotavirus vaccine starting 19 June 2014. We compared all-cause acute gastroenteritis (AGE) hospitalizations and rotavirus-associated hospitalizations during the prevaccine period (July 2008-June 2014) to 1 year after vaccine introduction (July 2014-June 2015). The proportion of children with AGE who tested positive for rotavirus declined from 53% (645/1223) in prevaccine years to 36% (68/187) in the postvaccine year (P< .01). The decline only occurred in children <1 year of age who were eligible for vaccination and was greatest during the rotavirus season months, supporting that it was associated with vaccine implementation.Entities:
