Service Providers for Hiberix (Hbmeningis & Pneumonia)
Hiberix is a vaccine that protects against Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), a bacteria that can cause serious infections like meningitis, pneumonia, and bloodstream infections. It is primarily given to infants and young children, usually in a series of doses starting at 2 months of age. The vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against Hib bacteria, preventing infection. Side effects are generally mild, such as redness or swelling at the injection site, fever, or irritability. Severe reactions are rare. Hiberix is crucial in preventing Hib-related complications, particularly in young children, where these infections can be severe or life-threatening.
