Preventing Rotavirus Infections in Children: Importance of Hygiene and Sanitation Practices

Most rotavirus infections are from 6-24 months and commonly spread where?

Daycare centers

Most rotavirus infections are seen in infants and children between 6-24 months of age who have not yet developed immunity to the virus. The virus is highly contagious and can be spread through contact with feces or vomit of an infected person. The most common mode of transmission is through the fecal-oral route, which occurs when hands or objects contaminated with the virus are placed in the mouth. Rotavirus is commonly spread in locations such as daycares, preschools, and other areas where young children are together. It can also be spread within families, especially if there are young children who are not yet toilet trained. Good hygiene practices, such as hand washing and proper sanitation, are important in preventing the spread of rotavirus.
