Timely, active and systematic surveillance of intussusception cases is important and has identified a temporal but low incidence association with the rotavirus vaccines currently available under the National Immunisation Program (since July 2007). Surveillance also aims to describe the epidemiology, aetiology and severity of intussusception. Surveillance of intussusception is currently paused.
