Sustained Decline in Acute Gastroenteritis-Associated Hospitalizations and Outpatient Visits Among American Indian/Alaska Native Children After Rotavirus Vaccine Introduction, 2001-2014

We examined the uptake of rotavirus vaccine and compared trends in acute gastroenteritis (AGE)-associated hospitalizations and outpatient visits among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children aged <5 years before and after introduction of the rotavirus vaccine. The rates of AGE-associated hospitalization and outpatient visits among AI/AN children remained below prevaccine levels.
