Description:On December 13, 2007, certain lots of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine marketed as PedvaxHIB (monovalent Hib vaccine) and Comvax (Hib-HepB vaccine), and manufactured by Merck & Co., Inc., were recalled voluntarily, and the company temporarily suspended production of these vaccines. To conserve the limited supply of Hib-containing vaccines, CDC, in consultation with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), on December 18, 2007, recommended that vaccination providers temporarily defer the routine Hib vaccine booster dose administered to most healthy children at age 12-15 months
