Abbreviation: RV5, pentavalent rotavirus vaccine.

aFever was defined as an axillary temperature of ≥100.4°F.

bSubjects with missing values were excluded from analysis (group A, n = 28; group B, n = 32).

cSubjects with missing values were excluded from analysis (group A, n = 28; group B, n = 29).

dFever was graded as mild (100.4–100.9°F), moderate (101.0–101.6°F), or severe (≥101.7°F).

eUsing the Fisher exact test, P = .54 for group A versus group B, whereas P = .036 for subgroup B-1 versus subgroup B-2.

fVomiting and diarrhea were graded as mild (aware of symptoms, but easily tolerated), moderate (acting like something wrong), or severe (extremely distressed or unable to do usual activities).

gNone of the subjects reported hematochezia.
