Pakistan just introduced the Rotavirus Vaccine (RVV) in EPI routine vaccination in 2017. Overall coverage of all basic vaccines in Pakistan is about 66% of which DPT-3 has 75%, measles vaccine 73%, and IPV 64% coverage. As RVV is recently introduced in Pakistan and there is less evidence-based data about its coverage, helpful or discouraging determinants and drop-out are available which has been assessed by this study Global A study regarding Rotavirus Vaccine coverage & its adherence to recommended age among infants was performed in Belgium revealed 92% coverage of rotavirus vaccine. It was reported by this study that impartial vaccination has been often parent choice due to factors include Crimson Publishers Wings to the Research Mini Review *Corresponding author: Saeed Ur Rasheed Nazir and Pervaiz A Shah, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Pharmacy, College of Pharmacy, University of Sargodha, Sargodha 40100 and Assistant Professor, Punjab University College of Pharmacy, University of the Punjab, Lahore 54000, Pakistan Submission: March 10, 2022 Published: March 25, 2022 Volume 2 - Issue 4 How to cite this article: Pervaiz A Shah*, Saad-Bin-Haroon, Ejaz Ahmad Khan, Taha Nazir, Saeed Ur Rasheed Nazir*, Muhammad Muneeb, Iradat Husain and Umer Farooq.

Pakistan introduced the rotavirus vaccine in 2017. There is less evidence-based data available about its coverage. Globally, the rotavirus vaccine has reduced hospital admissions to a significant number. For example, in Belgium, coverage was 92% whereas, in England, there was a 70% decrease in cases of rotavirus infection. According to experts, the rotavirus immunization would halve the number of hospital admissions. According to the WHO, 48% of countries that had introduced the vaccination scenario are the low-middle-income countries and there is a 7% reduction in hospitalization upon 10% introduction of the vaccine. Regionally, in Lebanon, the overall exposure of the immunization in children was 90% and all the credit goes to the mother’s education and awareness of the healthcare providers. In China, 25.3% coverage of vaccines was seen in Guangzhou province. However, in India parents were reluctant to try new vaccines on their children. 24% and 43-62% coverage of the rotavirus vaccine in children aged less than two years and less than 12 months respectively were recorded in 2017 in Pakistan. This coverage reduced 40% in health and economic burden of Pakistan. A descriptive study on 1-3 years children was conducted in OPD of Military hospital, Rawalpindi, where it was concluded that around 57.1% of children are fully and 33.6% are partially vaccinated. However, still these figures did not meet the benchmark of vaccination. These statistics cannot be applied to the whole country since socio-demographic parameters vary in urban and rural areas.
