• Concurrent participation in another clinical trial.
• Presence of significant malnutrition or any systemic disorder (cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, hematological, endocrine, immunological, dermatological, neurological, cancer or autoimmune disease) as determined by medical history and/or physical examination which would compromise the infant's health or is likely to result in non-conformance to the protocol.
• History of congenital abdominal disorders, intussusception, abdominal surgery
• Known or suspected impairment of immunological function based on medical history and physical examination.
• Prior receipt of rotavirus vaccine.
