Description

For sample children under 6 years old (in 1991-1993 and 1994-1996) or under 7 years old (in 1997-2003) with a shot record but not all of their shots are on the record, IMAHIB reports if the person has ever received an additional HIB shot that is not on the record.

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