Data from 1174 infants enrolled in a previous rotavirus vaccine study were analyzed to determine the effect of antibiotic exposure (from 14 days before to 7 days after vaccination) on rotavirus serum immunoglobulin A (IgA) responses. Serum IgA responses 1 month after the completion of vaccination were similar among antibiotic-exposed and nonexposed infants.
