- Abstract
The article discusses the findings of research aimed at assessing the effect of Australia's infant rotavirus vaccination program on disease notifications. An analysis was made for data collected on rotavirus notifications and from Queensland Health laboratories from 2006-2008 prior to the July 2007 implementation of the infant rotavirus vaccination program. The research concludes that the vaccination program resulted in a 65 percent decline in notifications, and a 15 percent drop in laboratory tests in 2008.
