Description

For sample children under 7 years old who have an immunization record and who have at least five HIB shots on their record, IMRHIBMO5 reports the month when the person received his or her fifth HIB shot. The HIB shot is for meningitis and is called Haemophilus influenzae type B, HIB vaccine, or H. flu vaccine.

Users should combine IMRHIBMO5 with IMRHIBY5, which reports the year of the person's fifth HIB shot, in order to get the complete month-year when the person received his or her fifth HIB shot.
