Regional difference on rotavirus vaccine coverage in children with diarrhea in Mozambique, before and during COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional analysis
Despite national level increase of the rotavirus vaccine coverage, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant reduction in the sentinel site in the center region of the country. Future rotavirus interventions should target areas with lowest rotavirus vaccine coverage, also, rotavirus diarrheal cases and severity should be monitored in those settings to evaluate the interventions impact.
