How long does the rotavirus vaccine last?
Although the rotavirus vaccine has been withdrawn as of October, 1999, I am retaining the answer to this question, in case it should be later reintroduced in some form. Efficacy persisted for two years in US and Finnish trials. Since followup has only been done for two years, it is not known whether efficacy persists beyond that time.
