  Purpose

This observational cohort study, conducted through two existing large administrative health databases in the US (outside the Vaccine Safety Datalink) is planned to confirm the safety profile regarding lack of any association of intussusception with Rotarix within 60 days of vaccination in a real life setting (routine use) in the US. This study will also include monitoring of Kawasaki disease, convulsions, hospitalizations due to acute lower respiratory tract infections and all-cause deaths within 60-days of vaccination.

This study involves three cohorts, one exposed and two control cohorts: infants who receive Rotarix (Exposed cohort) and infants who receive IPV vaccination (Unexposed cohort A and B).

This is a combined prospective and retrospective cohort study. Prospective component of the study identifies and compares study outcomes following Rotarix and IPV vaccination in the Exposed cohort and Unexposed cohort A, respectively.

Retrospective component of the study identifies and compares study outcomes following IPV vaccination in the Unexposed cohort B.

Groups/Cohorts Assigned Interventions
Exposed cohort
Infants aged less than 1 year who are eligible for rotavirus vaccination and receive at least one dose of Rotarix according to routine recommendations.
 Procedure: Health Insurance Database
Review of two health insurance databases in the US to determine the safety outcomes among infants who have received Rotarix or IPV vaccination.
Unexposed cohort A

 Procedure: Health Insurance Database
Review of two health insurance databases in the US to determine the safety outcomes among infants who have received Rotarix or IPV vaccination.
Unexposed cohort B
Infants aged less than 1 year who receive at least one dose of IPV between 1 January 2006 and 31 July 2008. All vaccines are provided according to routine recommendations.
 Procedure: Health Insurance Database
Review of two health insurance databases in the US to determine the safety outcomes among infants who have received Rotarix or IPV vaccination.
