Rotavirus commonly causes diarrhea but can also cause seizures. Analysis of insurance claims for 1773295 US children with 2950 recorded seizures found that, compared to rotavirus-unvaccinated children, seizure hospitalization risk was reduced by 24% (95% confidence interval [CI], 13%-33%) and 14% (95% CI, 0%-26%) among fully and partially rotavirus-vaccinated children, respectively.
