Rotavirus is the most common cause of diarrhea among infants and young children. In fact, nearly every child in the world has been infected with rotavirus at least once by the age of five.

Vero cells are a cell line which is widely used to make vaccines. The cell line was derived from kidney epithelial cells of the African Green Monkey. The cell line was established in 1962 by Japanese scientists. Vero cells are susceptible to a broad range of viruses so they are used
Every state offers parents a right to refuse vaccines prior to participating in public education. Eighteen states have a philosophical exemption, meaning, they have examined the evidence and conclude that the risk of the vaccine is greater than the risk of the illness.

MDCK cells are a line of canine (dog) epithelial cells that grow readily in culture and form confluent monolayers with relatively low permeability (varies between clones). Often used as a general model for epithelial cells. (Author: John Lackie for Dictionary of Cell and Molecular Biology – Online.) Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK)
Bovine extracts are cow-derived products used in vaccine manufacture. Cow products used include Amino acids Glycerol, Detergents, Gelatin, Enzymes, Blood. Cow tallow derivatives used in vaccine manufacture include glycerol. Gelatin and some amino acids come from cow bones. Cow skeletal muscle is used to prepare certain complex vaccine media. Many difficult to grow microorganisms required the addition of serum from blood
