Stomach infections caused by the rotavirus can be prevented through vaccination.

In countries like the United States, prophylactics are available to combat the disease even before infection sets in. These vaccines are given to children during their first year of life, and have been found to give them protection from future rotavirus infections. Rotavirus vaccines are effective in preventing severe presentations of the illness, which can be very fatal in young children.

Unfortunately, norovirus vaccines are still under development, thus are unavailable for the prevention of cases caused by them. However, this does not mean that norovirus infections are unpreventable. There are still other ways of curbing the spread of the disease.
