Act-HIB

Invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease can cause meningitis, bacteraemia (blood infection) and epiglottitis (a potentially life-threatening inflammation and swelling of the epiglottis, the flap that covers the windpipe). The disease has almost disappeared in New Zealand since the introduction of Hib vaccine in 1994.
