Abstract
The present invention provides vaccine compositions for protection against human rotaviral disease designed for use in particular areas of the world. Human× bovine reassortant rotavirus comprising each of the four clinically most important VP7 serotypes of human rotavirus are combined with other VP7 serotypes typically found in the area of interest into a multivalent formulation which provides a high degree of infectivity and immunogenicity. Methods and an administration protocol for producing an immunogenic response without producing an increased risk of intussusception are also provided.
