It is very important that your child return to your doctor’s office at the right time for each dose. Be sure to notify your doctor of any unwanted effects that occur after your child receives this vaccine.

This vaccine may interfere with laboratory tests that check for Hib disease. Make sure your doctor knows that your child received the vaccine if a severe infection occurs during the 1 to 2 weeks after the vaccine is given.

The vaccine syringe and vial stopper may contain dry natural rubber(a derivative of latex), which may cause an allergic reaction in patients who are sensitive to latex. Tell your doctor if your child has a latex allergy before receiving this medicine.

Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
