Another common Hib infection is epiglottitis, a life-threatening infection and swelling in the throat. Other forms of invasive Hib disease include joint infection, skin infection, pneumonia, and bone infection (CDC, 1998a). Vaccination with the Hib vaccine has been shown to dramatically reduce the number of Hib infections. Children receive four doses of the Hib vaccine at 2 months of age, 4 months of age, 6 months of age, and 12–15 months of age. Although children older than 5 years usually do not need the Hib vaccine some older children or adults with preexisting medical conditions may benefit from Hib vaccination.
