Large analysis finds no clear link between rotavirus vaccination and type 1 diabetes

New research presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy (Sept. 28–Oct. 2), and published in Diabetologia shows that the incidence (the new case rate) of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children ages 0.5–5 years in Norway was 11% higher following the rapid rollout and uptake of the rotavirus vaccine in September 2014. The study is by doctoral student Maria Östman, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway, and colleagues.
