Update February 16, 2008

Due to temporary Hib Vaccine shortage:

Do not give Hib vaccine booster dose to healthy children aged 12-15 months.
[Continue to give to high-risk children: those with asplenia, sickle cell disease, HIV, other immune syndromes, or who are Alaskan or Native American— boost as usual]

NOW
Keep track of those children who did NOT get the
booster dose.

LATER
Plan to vaccinate them when supply improves.

NOW
Continue regular vaccination for infants under 12 months. Make sure the vaccine used is not from recalled Merck PedvaxHIB® or COMVAX® lots.
