Rotavirus infection is one of viral infectious disease associated severe dehydration and gastroenteritis among children in both developed and developing countries will be infected with rotavirus in the first five years of life. Therefore, the aim of this review is to derive information of rotavirus prevalence, dominant strains and vaccine coverage in Ethiopia, 2022. Different studies conducted between 2003 to 2020 years. All gathered articles were stored into the mendeley software library and duplicate were identified. The studies were selected using nine evaluation criteria, and then studies which acquired scores above 50% were considered as having a low risk of bias included in review. The data analyzed and finding were presented by tables, bar graph and pie chart. Results of 13 studies selected for review, six studies on prevalence of rotavirus, while seven studies on vaccine coverage. From reviewed studies, 606 22.7% (95% CI = 21.1%-24.3%) tested rotavirus positive out of 2671 enrolled children. Predominant strains of rotavirus detected was G1P [8] 22.2%, G3P [6] 19.7% and G12P [8] 11% and vaccine coverage was 69.8% (95% CI: 66.8, 72.5). Out of vaccinated children, 1344 (92.2%) and 1270 (86.2%) were taken Rota 1 and Rota 2 respectively. The studies revealed that rotavirus common among Ethiopian children and safe effective interventions against rotavirus infection needed to prevent severe disease.
