  • Title: Ongoing control of Haemophilus influenzae type B infections in Canadian children, 2004-2007.
    Author: Scheifele DW, Bettinger JA, Halperin SA, Law B, Bortolussi R.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2008 Aug; 27(8):755-7. PubMed ID: 18594482.
    Abstract:
    The uniform use in Canada of a single Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine in combination with diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, and inactivated poliovirus vaccines (DTaP.IPV/Hib) facilitates ongoing assessment of vaccine effectiveness, including any effects of recently added concurrent vaccinations and increasing time since vaccination. Surveillance at 12 pediatric centers in 2004-2007 indicates that vaccine failures remain rare and case totals approach an irreducible minimum, with no age shift.
