Vaccines for prevention of diarrhea

• The vaccine against rotavirus diarrhea has been introduced recently in the National immunization schedule.
• Oral cholera vaccines are available, which gives immunity to 50-60% of those who take the vaccine, and this immunity lasts only a few months.
• Measles vaccine prevents measles. Diarrhea is a frequent complication of measles

Other vaccines help by preventing infection with vaccine preventable diseases, thereby preventing some parenteral diarrhea.
