Description

For sample children under 6 years old (in 1992-1993 and 1994-1996) or under 7 years old (in 1997-2003) who have had immunization shots but so not have a record and who have ever received at least an HIB shot, IMNHIBNO reports the number of HIB shots that the person has ever had.

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