Study of BBIL's ROTAVAC® and ROTAVAC 5CM Vaccines in Zambia

Summary

The study is being conducted to evaluate and compare the immunogenicity of ROTAVAC® and ROTAVAC 5D 28 days after the last dose of the vaccine, when administered to infants in a three-dose schedule at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age. The study will also assess the reactogenicity of the vaccine 7 days after each vaccination and safety from first vaccination up to 4 weeks after the last vaccination with ROTAVAC® and ROTAVAC 5D, and of Rotarix® when administered to infants in a two-dose schedule at 6 and 10 weeks of age.
