4th Dose of HIB

The CDC also said that children at higher risk for Hib infection should get
priority over other patients. How do you all track this?

I agree. We will not keep lists and do callbacks. We will catch them up
when they come in for any reason as long as it is not contraindicated.

Catch up???
We just got our first shipment of Hib since mid-December or whenever the
recall went into effect (and we had to mail back all of our stock). NC had the
misfortune of picking the wrong supplier for their sole supplier. So we have
lots of patients who have not had ANY. We are trying to get everyone two
dosages before we give three...

Hi,

Our Sanofi rep came by yesterday to reinforce the new CDC recommendation that
4th doses of HIB be suspended until Merck resumes production or Sanofi can rev
theirs up.

When do you think would be the best time to catch them all up, instead of
relying on a haphazard "whenever they are here for something else"?
