Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Of the total of 4941 subjects enrolled in this study, 2 subjects were allocated a subject number but did not get any study vaccine administered. Hence, only 4939 subjects were considered as 'started'.

Reporting Groups
  Description
Rotarix 2-dose Group Subjects received 1 dose of placebo followed by 2 doses of Rotarix™ (rotavirus vaccine).
Rotarix 3-dose Group Subjects received 3 doses of Rotarix™ (rotavirus vaccine).
