The HIB vaccine is one of those shots given to infants at 4 months. This vaccine defends primarily against influenza type B, which is the bacterium that causes HIB disease. HIB disease can affect many different parts of the body, including the lungs, the brain, and the ears. Up to 6 percent of cases result in death and 20 percent of remaining patients have permanent hearing loss or other long-term complications. Because of the HIB vaccine, cases of HIB disease have decreased by 99 %.
