14.2 Immunogenicity of ActHIB Vaccine in Children 12 to 24 Months of Age
In four separate studies, children 12 to 24 months of age who had not previously received Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccination were immunized with a single dose of ActHIB vaccine (Table 5). Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of anti-PRP antibody responses were 5.12 mcg/mL (90% responding with ≥1.0 mcg/mL) for children 12 to 15 months of age and 4.4 mcg/mL (82% responding with ≥1.0 mcg/mL) for children 17 to 24 months of age.

Age Group | N * | Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) (mcg/mL) | % Subjects With ≥1.0 mcg/mL | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pre-Immunization | Post-Immunization † | Pre-Immunization | Post-Immunization † | ||
12 to 15 months | 256 | 0.06 | 5.12 | 1.6 | 90.2 |
17 to 24 months | 81 | 0.10 | 4.40 | 3.7 | 81.5 |
ActHIB vaccine has been found to be immunogenic in children with sickle cell anemia, a condition that may cause increased susceptibility to Haemophilus influenzae type b disease. Following two doses of ActHIB vaccine given at two-month intervals, 89% of these children (mean age 11 months) had anti-PRP antibody titers of ≥1.0 mcg/mL. This is comparable to anti-PRP antibody levels demonstrated in children without sickle-cell anemia of similar age following two doses of ActHIB vaccine. (12)

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION
Vaccine Information Statements are required by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 to be given prior to immunization to the patient, parent, or guardian.
Inform the patients, parents, or guardians about the potential benefits and risks of the vaccine and importance of completing the immunization series unless a contraindication to further immunization exists. In addition to this, parents and guardians must be informed about the potential for adverse reactions that have been temporarily associated with the administration of ActHIB vaccine or other vaccines containing similar ingredients. Prior to administration of ActHIB vaccine, healthcare providers should ask parents or guardians about the recent health status of the infant or child to be immunized. As part of the child’s immunization record, the date, lot number, and manufacturer of the vaccine administered should be recorded. (13) (14) (15) Vaccine recipients and guardians must report any adverse reactions upon administration of the vaccine to their healthcare provider and/or to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
