Mass spectrometry-based approaches encompass a powerful collection of tools for the analysis biological molecules, including glycans and glycoconjugates. Unlike most traditional bioanalytical methods focusing on these molecules, mass spectrometry is especially suited for multiplexing, by utilizing stable-isotope labeling. Indeed, stable isotope-based multiplexing can be regarded as the gold-standard approach in reducing noise and uncertainty in quantitative mass spectrometry and quantitative analyses generally.

Following introduction of a locally developed and licensed oral rotavirus vaccine, Rotavin-M1, into the routine immunization program in two Vietnamese provinces, Nam Dinh and TT Hue, we describe changes in rotavirus positivity among children hospitalized for diarrhea and calculate vaccine effectiveness against moderate-to-severe rotavirus hospitalizations.
Methods: Active rotavirus surveillance among children <5 years began in December 2016 at sentinel hospitals in districts where rotavirus vaccine was introduced in December 2017.
