The incidence of invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) infection has decreased significantly among Navajo children since the licensure of Hib conjugate vaccines, even though two lots of Hib (polyribosylribitol phosphate) - meningococcal B outer-membrane protein conjugate vaccine (PRP-OMP) widely used among the Navajo were later found to be of low immunogenicity.
We measured the effectiveness of all Hib conjugate vaccines combined, PRP-OMP alone, and the PRP-OMP lots with lower-than-expected immunogenicity among Navajo infants and children.
This was a matched case-control study using active, laboratory-based surveillance for the ascertainment of Navajo children 2 1/2 to 59 months of age with invasive Hib infection ; 45 patients with infection and 180 control subjects were enrolled.
