Delay or do not give (contraindication)

If the child is ill, with something more serious than a cold, immunizations may be delayed.
If severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis occurs after an injection of the Hib vaccine, no further Haemophilus b immunization should be given to the child.
There are no other specific contraindications to the Hib vaccine for infants or young children except the Hib vaccine should not be given to children less than 6 weeks of age.
