My child recently received a Hib vaccine. Could he/she have been given recalled vaccine?
At this time, we don’t know how many doses of the recalled Hib vaccine have already been used. The recall involves about 1 million doses of vaccine, so we can assume that some children vaccinated against Hib between April 2007 and December 13, 2007 received vaccine from lots affected by this recall. About 16 million doses of Hib vaccine are distributed in the U.S. each year, so many children who were recently vaccinated received vaccine that is not included in this recall. Even if your child received recalled vaccine, there is no major reason for concern.
