Clarification on HIB booster post

Posted Jun 29 2009 4:25pm

We need to post a clarification regarding the HIB booster for toddlers. Kids who are 12-15 months will be getting their HIB booster at their upcoming well child visits, which is the regular vaccination schedule prior to the shortage.

Any child between15-60 monthsold who has not received his final booster shot, can get it now. We commented that kids under age 3 need to be caught up on this HIB booster dose because that is the primary group of kids who had to wait to get that vaccine until the shortage was over. But, any child under age 5 who is not up to date for HIB vaccine should get it.

Sorry for any confusion!
