TW O - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, December Haemophilus vaccine available in county A vaccine that can prevent men ingitis in children recently has been licensed and is now available in Oregon, according to a news release from the Morrow County Health Dept “ This safe and highly effec tive vaccine can protect infants and young children from infections caus ed by the bacteria Haemophilus in fluenza type b,*' said a spokesperson. Haemophilus b is the most com mon cause of bacterial meningitis in the United States, and also causes pneumonia and sepsis or blood poisoning Haemophilus infections can be fatal and may cause perma nent neurologic damage in children who survive. Each year, an estimated 12,000 children fall ill from Haemophilus in the United States, including an average of 120 children per year in Oregon. One in 200 children become sick with Haemophilus infections sometime during the first five years of life, most often during the first year. The vast majority of these infec tions can be prevented by the new vaccine. The vaccine, called Haemophilus b conjugate vaccine, is given to infants at two, four and six months of age, with a booster at 15 months o f age. Previously, Haemophilus vaccine had been given to children at 15 months of age, too late to prevent most illness. The newly licensed vaccine (Lederle- Praxis’ HibTiTER) is more effective because it can be given to young in fants who are at highest risk. All children in Oregon should be immunized with Haemophilus b con- jgate vaccine beginning at two months of age, the age when routine childhood immunizations are started. Immunization may be given at the same time as diphtheria-tetanus- pertussis (D TP) and polio immunization. The number and timing of doses for those older children depends on their age. Parents with children bet ween two and 15 months of age should contact the provider of their child's immunization to arrange an appointment schedule. Immunization is also recommended for children age 15 months to five years who have not previously received Haemophilus b vaccine. Haemophilus b immunization is available free at our regularly scheduled clinics every Friday, 8 a.m.-4:30p.m. at the Health Depart ment in Heppner; first and third Tuesdays, 1:30-4 p.m. at Boardman City Hall; second and fourth Tuesdays, 1-4 p.m. at the Irrigon County offices.
