  • Title: The pentavalent rotavirus vaccine, RotaTeq.
    Author: Matson DO.
    Journal: Semin Pediatr Infect Dis; 2006 Oct; 17(4):195-9. PubMed ID: 17055370.
    Abstract:
    Vaccination against rotavirus disease has been a global preventive health priority since rotaviruses were first discovered in the 1970s. The first licensed rotavirus vaccine, RRV-TV, was removed from the market shortly after licensure because of an unexpected serious adverse event, intussusception. A pentavalent rotavirus vaccine, PRV, is the second FDA-licensed rotavirus vaccine and does not signal the risk observed with RRV-TV. The properties and large safety study results of PRV are reviewed here.
