Research presented by Epicentre, MSF's epidemiological research arm, and other African researchers adds to evidence that the two existing rotavirus vaccines may not be best adapted for use in Africa.
In 1988, MSF created Epicentre, an epidemiological research center based in Paris and tasked with establishing surveillance, monitoring, and evaluation systems in refugee crises and epidemic outbreaks.
In April of 2003, epidemiologist Brigg Reilley, a program officer for MSF, returned from an assessment of MSF's HIV/AIDS prevention programs in Humera.
