Abstract
Rotavirus infections have been reported to account for 40-50% of all hospitalized acute gastroenteritis cases in young children (<5 years) in Japan. Since 2011, Rotarix containing the live attenuated human rotavirus RIX4414 strain (HRV) has been licensed in Japan for infants. Vaccination against rotavirus is optional in Japan whereas administration of diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, and inactivated poliovirus (DPT-IPV) vaccine is part of the national routine immunization program. In this open-label, randomized, controlled, multicenter study, we evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of the DPT-IPV vaccine (Squarekids) administered concomitantly or staggered with the liquid HRV (Rotarix) vaccine in healthy Japanese infants. A total of 292 infants aged 6-12 weeks were randomly assigned to receive DPT-IPV vaccine and HRV vaccine co-administered (n = 147) or staggered (n = 145). Immune responses to DPT-IPV vaccine were evaluated by measuring the post-vaccination serum antibody titers/concentrations to each antigen at one month following the third dose of DPT-IPV vaccine. Seroprotection/seropositivity against each of the diphtheria, pertussis (pertussis toxin and filamentous hemagglutinin), tetanus, and poliovirus type 1, 2 and 3 a...Continue Reading
