Persistence of Maternal Anti-Rotavirus Immunoglobulin G in the Post-Rotavirus Vaccine Era

To assess whether titers of anti-rotavirus immunoglobulin G persist during the post–rotavirus vaccine era, the Pediatric Respiratory and Enteric Virus Acquisition and Immunogenesis Longitudinal (PREVAIL) Cohort analyzed serum samples collected from Cincinnati-area mothers and young infants in 2017–2018. Rotavirus-specific antibodies continue to be transferred from US mothers to their offspring in the post–rotavirus vaccine era, despite dramatic decreases in childhood rotavirus gastroenteritis.
