*Cases and controls were considered vaccinated with respective number of doses (one, two, or three) if most recent dose was administered ≥14 days before date of case’s hospital visit.

†Because non-diarrhea controls were matched on age and hospital, conditional logistic regression was used to compute odds ratio for vaccination versus no vaccination; crude vaccine effectiveness includes only vaccination in model; adjusted vaccine effectiveness for model with hospital admission includes sex, day care, and computer for 6-11 months and sex, number of children, and rooms for ≥12 months; model for Vesikari ≥11 includes sex, day care, and telephone for 6-11 months and sex and number of children and rooms for ≥12 months; model for Vesikari ≥15 includes none for 6-11 months and sex and number of rooms for ≥12 months.

‡Unconditional logistic regression was used to compute odds ratio for vaccination versus no vaccination among cases and test negative controls; crude vaccine effectiveness adjusts only for month/year of birth and hospital; adjusted vaccine effectiveness for model with hospital admission and Vesikari ≥11 includes month/year of birth, hospital, sex, and day care for 6-11 months and month/year of birth, hospital, and day care for ≥12 months; adjusted model for G9P[8] includes month/year of birth and hospital for 6-11 and ≥12 months.
