That reduced price would make it far easier for poor countries to vaccinate their children against the deadly virus, health experts said. Rotavirus, spread through contaminated hands and surfaces, kills about half a million children across the world each year, 100,000 of them in India. At a conference Tuesday, the government announced that Phase III trials of Rotavac proved that it was safe as well as effective. The clinical trial of 6,799 infants at three sites in India showed the vaccine reduced severe cases of diarrhea caused by rotavirus by 56 percent during the first year of life. “The clinical results indicate that the vaccine, if licensed, could save the lives of thousands of children each year in India,†said Dr. K. Vijay Raghavan, the secretary of the Department of Biotechnology. :hatsoff::hatsoff::hatsoff:
