Recent articles published in the New England Journal of Medicine presenting landmark data on the safety and efficacy of rotavirus vaccines in Latin America, Europe, and the United States are now available on-line in Spanish, French, and Russian.

As part of our global effort to facilitate access to the evidence base for rotavirus vaccines, we hope that making these important technical resources and information available in multiple languages will contribute to an improved understanding of the potential impact of these life-saving vaccines.  We appreciate the cooperation of the New England Journal of Medicine in making these studies available to a global audience.

The studies are available in English, Spanish, French, and Russian translation from PATH's Vaccine Resource Library. Click on the document links below to download a PDF version. Additional rotavirus disease and vaccine resources may be accessed at www.path.org/vaccineresources/rotavirus.
