Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Ecological study of impact of rotavirus vaccine on the Island of Ireland. • Rotavirus vaccine was introduced in Northern Ireland only. • Ireland was in effect an unvaccinated control population. • Significant reduction in rotavirus burden in NI, with concurrent increase in Ireland. • Reduction in rotavirus burden is likely to be attributable to the rotavirus vaccine.
