Hib Vaccine Recall

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall of 1.2 Million Doses of the Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine. Officials claim that all of the Hib doses are fully potent, but there is reason to believe that some of the product may be contaminated with bacteria.

The recall was voluntary, and not mandated by federal authorities. The sterility concerns emerged following routine quality-control checks that determined that some of the equipment used to process the drug did not meet company standards.
