Description

For sample children under 6 years old (in 1991-1996) or under 7 years old (in 1997-2003) who have had immunization shots but do not have a record, IMNHIB reports if the person has ever received an HIB shot.

The HIB shot is for meningitis and is called Haemophilus influenzae type B, HIB vaccine, or H. flu vaccine.
