Dear Mbak Yenni, Ini artikel tentang Hib. Menurut artikel ini dengan 4 kali suntikan bayi tahan 99% terhadap meningitis. Tapi menurut dokter saya juga sama bahwa kalau disuntik di bawah 1 tahun maka perlu 3 kali tapi kalau di atas 1 tahun cukup 1 kali. What is HiB vaccine : It immunizes your child against the dangerous bacteria Hemophilus influenzae type B, which can lead to meningitis, pneumonia, and epiglottitis. The October 2, 1997, edition of the New England Journal of Medicine states that the vaccine is responsible for an 87 percent drop in bacterial meningitis among one- to five-year-old children in the United States. When does my baby need thia inoculation : She'll need it three times during her first year -- at her two-, four- and six- month checkups -- and the last dose around 12-18 months. Use BabyCenter's immunization scheduler to help keep track. What would happen if my baby did'nt get this shot : She would be vulnerable to the dangerous diseases carried by this bacteria. The Hib vaccine protects against the following: Bacterial meningitis, which strikes most often between two months and two years. Symptoms include fever, decreased appetite, excessive crankiness, nausea, and sleepiness. The disease needs to be diagnosed quickly and treated aggressively, or your baby may sustain hearing loss, paralysis, or, in rare cases, a baby may even die. Unfortunately, diagnosis can only be done by performing a spinal tap, a procedure that can be frightening to parents. Pneumonia, an infection in the lungs, which can be very serious in babies and children. Symptoms include a cough, labored breathing, fever, and possibly a blue tint to the baby's lips or fingernails. Pneumonia is often a secondary infection, following an upper-respiratory infection or influenza, chicken pox, or rubella. If antibiotics are prescribed for your infant, she may have to be hospitalized for intravenous administration. Epiglottitis, a serious but rare condition often caused by the Hemophilius influenzae type B bacteria. The epiglottis becomes swollen, which may block the trachea, making it difficult for your baby to breathe. Epiglottitis frequently is misdiagnosed by parents to be a case of croup because of the stridor and cough. Babies with epiglottitis will also exhibit signs of an extremely sore throat and may also drool more than usual. Older babies and children have to sit up to breathe. Are there any side effect relating to this vaccine : One and a half percent of the children who receive the vaccine may feel sore at the injection site and spike a low-grade fever. Research shows that if a child gets all four of the scheduled Hib shots, she'll be 99 percent protected against these diseases.

Apakah ada yang tahu lebih jauh mengenai hal ini, karena terus terang anak saya (10 bulan) belum saya berikan vaksin ini, karena saya masih ragu akan kegunaannya. Kata DSA sich, kalau di vaksin umur setahun hanya sekali aja. Saya ragu karena beberapa teman yang sama-sama mempunyai anak kecil banyak yang nggak dianjurin untuk vaksin ini. Tolong ya.............kalau ada yang tau saya diinformasikan, mungkin teman netter yang lain juga membutuhkannnya. Thanks alot.
