So having rotavirus vaccine available for our children means that there is an increased chance of preventing diarrheal disease. The inactivated polio vaccine came on board; the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine came on board and now Rotavirus vaccine has come on board. The advantage of having the children vaccinated is that they are not only protected against these childhood diseases, but they also create an opportunity for herd immunity. So, when we get our children vaccinated against HPV, then, we would be reducing the incidence of cervical cancer. I would encourage everyone to get their children vaccinated.
