Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe gastroenteritis in children. Despite early promise, vaccines which target rotavirus seem to be less effective in low-resource settings and also amongst Australian Indigenous children. This study seeks to assess whether an extra dose of rotavirus vaccine (RV1) will improve the effectiveness of rotavirus vaccine in Aboriginal children and result in decreased admissions and clinic visits in the first three years of life.

轮状病毒是儿童严重胃肠炎的主要原因。尽管有早期的承诺，但针对轮状病毒的疫苗在资源匮乏的环境以及澳大利亚土著儿童中似乎效果较差。本研究旨在评估额外剂量的轮状病毒疫苗 (RV1) 是否会提高原住民儿童轮状病毒疫苗的有效性，并减少出生后三年内的入院和就诊次数。
