Abstract

Authors� conclusions: after the introduction of a rotavirus vaccine, a significant decline in diarrhea-related deaths among Mexican children was observed, suggesting a potential benefit from rotavirus vaccination. Reviewers� commentary: even if the data are not precise (come from ecological study that studies mortality from diarrhea of all causes) rotavirus vaccine could have decreased the mortality from diarrhea in Mexican pediatric population.
