Estonia implemented the rotavirus (RV) vaccine into its national immunization program in July 2014. We aimed to determine circulating RV genotypes and the clinical profile by genotypes from February 1, 2015, to August 30, 2016, among children 0-18 years hospitalized due to rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE).
