*Denominator equals the total number of first doses=57 591.
†Denominator equals the total number of second and third doses=55 152.
‡A small number of doses (n=30) in the data set were recorded as RV5, which were likely historical doses from out of province or private delivery of rotavirus vaccine. Therefore, to be consistent with Alberta guidelines,33 any individual who received a dose of RV5 needed three doses of rotavirus vaccine for complete vaccination.
§Denominator equals the total number of first, second and third doses=112 743.
