Rotavac, the Made-in-India vaccine for diarrhoea has been made available in a phased manner since 2016 under the universal immunization programme. Rotavirus causes severe diarrhoea in children under the age of 5. While not all infected children will need to go to the hospital, 1 in a 1000 can actually die due to the infection. Foreign vaccines cost nearly 200 US dollars per child, but this Indian vaccine has been developed at less than one dollar per child.
