What Is a Rotavirus Infection?
6. Who’s At Risk
Rotavirus infections can occur in people of all ages. However, young and old people are in a higher risk group. Children between 35 months and 3 years old are in the highest risk bracket of all. This is especially the case in children that spend time in creches and other environments where there are many other children.
Adults that are taking care of infected children are also more likely to contract the disease. In addition, people living in areas where sanitary conditions are poor are in a high-risk group. People that have been vaccinated are among the least likely to fall ill from the virus.
