Children Who Receive Rotavirus Vaccine May Be Less Likely To Develop T1D Than Youngsters Who Do Not Get The Vaccine,

young children “who receive the rotavirus vaccine may be less likely to develop type 1 diabetes [T1D] than children who don’t get this routine childhood vaccination,” researchers concluded after comparing rates of T1D “in the eight years before and the eight years after May, 2007, when a routine oral rotavirus vaccine was introduced for infants six weeks and older.” The findings were published online in a research letter published in JAMA Pediatrics. MD Magazine (1/22, Rossi) also covers the story. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-diabetes-rotavirus/rotavirus-vaccination-tied-to-lower-rates-of-type-1-diabetes-idUSKCN1PG2L8
