Doctors Alarmed by New Cases of Deadly Hib Disease in Unvaccinated Children
Recent hospitalizations of children for Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) have raised concerns among doctors about the potential resurgence of this once-feared disease. Hib, which spreads through respiratory droplets, can cause severe infections like pneumonia and meningitis, leading to permanent disabilities or death. The Hib vaccine, introduced over three decades ago, drastically reduced cases, but declining vaccination rates are causing worry. Recent cases in Florida and Tennessee have sparked concern, with unvaccinated children suffering severe outcomes.
