aVaccine efficacy was assumed equal between eligible and ineligible, data were modeled as Pert distribution; befficacy against fatal RVGE was assumed equal to efficacy for severe disease; cefficacy against nosocomial infection based on severity distribution in original study data.

GE: gastroenteritis; GP: general practitioner; RV: rotavirus.
