What is BIOHIB and what is it used for ?
BIOHIB is a vaccine used for developing a strong immune response for your child to protect against the childhood illness caused by the bacterium Haemophilus Influenzae type b. The vaccine contains a non-infectious component from the bacterium, which makes your child develop antibodies against the infection
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is a bacteria centric infectious disease. It spreads by breathing in droplets from infected people. Infants around 6 to 10 months old are especially at higher risk of severe illness and death.
