Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted in seven lower-income sub-Saharan African countries to assess if there is a link between the monovalent human rotavirus vaccine and intussusception in infants.
- Researchers enrolled 717 infants with confirmed intussusception and evaluated the timing of their vaccination, specifically looking at periods shortly after receiving the vaccine.
- The findings indicated that the risk of developing intussusception after vaccination did not exceed the normal background risk, suggesting that the vaccine is safe in these settings.
