Description

For sample children under 7 years old who have an immunization record and who have at least six HIB shots on their record, IMRHIBY6 reports the year when the person received his or her sixth HIB shot. The HIB shot is for meningitis and is called Haemophilus influenzae type B, HIB vaccine, or H. flu vaccine.

Users should combine IMRHIBY6 with IMRHIBMO6, which reports the month of the person's sixth HIB shot, in order to get the complete date when the person received his or her sixth HIB shot.
