Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to estimate the Lanzhou lamb rotavirus (LLR) vaccination coverage (VC) and timeliness among children aged 2 to 59 months in Guangzhou, China. METHODS: An electronic system-based VC survey was conducted using stratified cluster random sampling. RESULTS: We reported an overall Lanzhou lamb rotavirus vaccine coverage of 25.3% among children aged 2-59 months (2-8 months, 2.6%) in Guangzhou, China. CONCLUSION: Great efforts should be taken to increase LLR VC in eligible children in Guangzhou, China.
