The World Health Organization says a vaccine which can prevent a diarrhoea and vomiting virus should be given to all children as a routine vaccination.
Rotavirus causes more than 500,000 diarrheal deaths and two million hospitalisations a year among children.
Over 85% of deaths occur in developing countries in Africa and Asia.
