In a nutshell: This paper uses a dynamic model to predict the effect of a mass vaccination program in England and Wales beginning in the fall of 2011. We report the impact of vaccination, in both short-and long-term, on disease incidence reducation, timing of seasonal epidemics and the level of herd protection. Our results predict that vaccination can reduce the burden of severe RVGE by 70% and delay the rotavirus epidemic peak by two and a half months with a coverage of 95%.
