HIB Vaccine Recall

As expected, the Centers for Disease Control have recommended that the booster dose of HIB vaccine (given at either the 12 or 15 month well check) be postponed until the vaccine shortage is over. Children who are considered high risk of getting HIB infection are still prioritized to get their booster shots.

Babies will continue to receive their primary HIB vaccinations at 2 months and 4 months, +/- 6 months of age, depending on which HIB vaccination is used.

We will let you know when the shortage is over so if you have a toddler who misses that booster dose, you can get back into your doc's office to get it.
