*** Please note that data from 2014-2019 may differ from previously published data due to a revalidation exercise with the Scottish virology reference laboratories
R Please note that rotavirus data differs slightly from previously published data due to a revalidation exercise. The impact of this is minor, with slightly less laboratory reports counted in years 2012, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 (variably 1 to 3 cases different in each year) than previously published.
