Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is one of many vaccine-preventable infections that doctors are starting to worry about again due to falling vaccination rates in the United States. In our office, children receive Hib vaccination at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 15 months of age providing excellent protection while they are most vulnerable.

The introduction of the conjugate Hib vaccination in the 1990s resulted in a 99% reduction in cases reported in the US. It is highly effective and well tolerated - protect your babies! ❤️

A deadly bacterial disease is returning, doctors warn, as vaccination rates fall Hib once killed 1,000 children a year, permanently disabling many more. Doctors who've never seen the disease say the comeback is changing the way they practice medicine.

Kudos to our Kingstree crew for their fun Dr. Seuss celebration today! Oh, The Places You'll Go!
