The European Society for Pediatric Infectious Disease and the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition have said they support rotavirus vaccination of infants in Europe.

Represented by the ESPID-ESPGHAN Rotavirus Expert Group, they announced during the 25th ESPID Congress in Porto, Portugal, on May 1, the development of evidence-based guidelines to advise physicians on the effective and safe use of rotavirus vaccines in Europe, providing a "framework" for such vaccination programs at a national level.
