Rotavirus surges with 8516 cases reported this year
A few factors may explain the surge, says Associate Professor Vincent Ho.
Australia has chalked up the most rotavirus cases in a year since the condition became notifiable in 2010.
National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System data show 8516 cases reported so far in 2024 — 50% of them in children aged 0-4 — compared with 8446 cases in 2023.
