Highlights • Parental preferences and expected coverage may guide the introduction of rotavirus vaccines. • Vaccination decisions of parents were mostly driven by vaccine related out-of-pocket costs. • Highest coverage is expected for a vaccine with high effectiveness and protection duration. • Highest coverage can only be realized if the vaccine is implemented within the current NIP.
