This animated line graph summarizes the rate of rotavirus gastroenteritis at the national level from January 1996 through June 2017. The currently licensed vaccine was introduced in the US in 2006. There was a rapid uptake of the vaccine between 2006 and 2008: The visualization demonstrates that the seasonal rotavirus peaks greatly decrease as vaccine uptake continues to increase after 2008 (see methodology).

Rotavirus vaccination rate (percent of eligible children)
The monthly rotavirus rate is calculated as the sum of the weekly rate of hospitalizations from rotavirus gastroenteritis. The monthly vaccination rate is the mean of the weekly vaccination rate among members of the study group.

This heatmap reframes the previous national rotavirus line graph as a grid organized by year and month. Seasonal trends in the rotavirus rate are more prominently visual from February to April and occasional extending in January or May. There is a clear decrease in rotavirus after...
