aPerson-time censored at first ARD episode.

bPer 100 person-years.

cEstimated using a Poisson regression model with a Pearson chi-squared scale parameter to account for clustering.

dEstimated per 100 person-years using the approach described in Section 12.3.2 of [21].

ePerson-time censored at first severe ARD episode, regardless of severity of previous ARD.

fHomotypic includes fully (G1P1A[8]) or partially (G1P# or G#P1A[8]) homotypic strains, while heterotypic includes strains that are neither G1 nor P1A [8]. # indicates any G or P serotype/genotype.

ARD, acute rotavirus diarrhea; ATP, according-to-protocol; HRV, human rotavirus vaccine; mITT, modified intention-to-treat; VET, total vaccine effectiveness.
