1. What is Hiberix and what it is used for
Hiberix is a vaccine used to protect the child from a disease caused by the bacterium Haemophilus
influenzaetype b.
Haemophilus influenzaetype b (Hib) can cause brain inflammation, responsible for serious
problems such as: mental retardation, cerebral palsy, deafness, epilepsy or partial blindness. The bacterium can also
cause inflammation of the throat, which in turn can cause death by suffocation. Less frequently,
the bacterium can infect blood, heart, lungs, bones, joints and the tissues of eyes and mouth.
Hiberix is indicated for primary vaccination of children starting from two months of age.
Hiberix helps the child's body develop its own defenses (antibodies) against the disease.
Like all vaccines, Hiberix may not completely protect all vaccinated children.
Hiberix has a protective action only against infections caused by the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae
type b, for which it was specifically developed.
It is possible that children with a weakened immune system (due, for example, to HIV infection)
may not be fully protected with Hiberix.
The vaccine cannot cause the disease it prevents.
2. What you need to know before your child receives Hiberix
Hiberix must not be administered
- If the child is allergic (hypersensitive) to the active substances or to any of the other ingredients of the vaccine
of the other components of Hiberix. Signs of an allergic reaction include: skin rash with
itching, difficulty breathing and swelling of the face or tongue.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before your child receives Hiberix if:
- The child suffers from severe inflammation and has a high fever. In these cases, vaccination will be postponed after recovery. The presence of a minor infection, such as a cold, is not a problem, but it is still recommended to consult your doctor.
- If the child has difficulty breathing, inform your doctor immediately. This problem may be more frequent in the first three months after vaccination, if the child is premature (born before 28 weeks of pregnancy). Fainting may occur following, or even before, any injection with a needle, so inform the doctor or nurse if your child has fainted with a previous injection.
As with all injectable vaccines, appropriate medical treatment and supervision must be readily available
in case of an allergic reaction after vaccine administration.
Hiberix contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per dose, i.e. essentially “sodium-free”.
Other medicines or vaccines and Hiberix
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist if the child is taking, has recently taken or might take any other medicines, including those available without a prescription, or if the child has recently received another vaccination.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist if the child has an infection or is taking any medicine that affects the immune system (the body's natural defense system) as they may not be fully protected by Hiberix.
- Hiberix can be given at the same time, before or after the administration of other vaccines. Hiberix can be mixed in the same syringe with Infanrix. Except for authorised combinations, Hiberix should not be mixed with other vaccines in the same syringe. In case of simultaneous administration, the individual vaccines must be administered at different injection sites.
3. How Hiberix is administered
- The doctor or nurse will administer the recommended doses to the child, based on official recommendations.
When vaccination is started within the first 6 months of life, the primary schedule consists of 3 doses and
can begin from the age of 2/3 months. The efficacy of the vaccine has been demonstrated with both the 0, 1, 2
schedule (doses spaced by a 1-month interval administered at approximately 3, 4 and 5 months)
and the 0, 2, 4 schedule (doses spaced by a 2-month interval administered at approximately 2, 4 and 6 months).
A booster dose is recommended within the second year of life, to ensure long-term protection.
In children aged between 6 and 12 months, who have not been previously vaccinated, it is recommended to
administer 2 doses one month apart. A booster dose is
recommended in the second year of life.
In children aged between 13 and 48 months, who have not been previously vaccinated, it is recommended to
administer a single dose of vaccine.
Routine vaccination of children over 4 years of age and adolescents is
not recommended.
Immunization of children with a conjugate vaccine against Haemophilus influenzaetype b is
optimal when its administration begins at around two months of life, as invasive infections from Haemophilus influenzaeare more frequent and potentially very serious in children of
under 3 years of age.
- The reconstituted vaccine must be administered by intramuscular injection.
- The vaccine should never be administered intravenously.
- You will be informed when the child needs to receive the next dose.
If the child does not receive a dose of Hiberix
- If the child does not receive a scheduled dose, it is important that you request another appointment.
- If the three-dose vaccination schedule is not completed, the child may not achieve the best immune response or adequate protection from the disease.
4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, Hiberix can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
The adverse reactions that emerged during clinical studies are as follows:
Allergic reactions
As with all injectable vaccines, the child may experience an allergic reaction, albeit in
rare cases (less than 1 case per 10,000 doses of vaccine).
Signs of an allergic reaction include:
- Skin rashes that may cause itching or blisters
- Swelling of the eyes and face
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing
- Sudden drop in blood pressure
- Loss of consciousness. Normally, these symptoms occur immediately after the injection. Take the child to the doctor immediately if they occur after leaving the doctor's office.
Go to the doctor immediately if the child presents any of the following serious
side effects
Very common (may happen in more than 1 in 10 doses of vaccine):
- irritability
- drowsiness
- fever
- swelling, pain and redness at the injection site
- loss of appetite
- crying
- restlessness
- diarrhoea
Common (this can happen in up to 1 in 10 doses of vaccine):
- Vomiting
Rare (this can happen in up to 1 in 1000 doses of vaccine):
- Convulsions (including febrile convulsions)
In addition, other effects not observed during clinical trials but reported after the marketing of
Hiberix include:
Very rare(with a frequency of less than 1 in 10,000 doses of vaccine):
- Fainting due to the injection
- Collapse (sudden onset of muscle flaccidity), periods of unconsciousness or loss of awareness, paleness or skin that becomes bluish
- Apnea, in very premature infants (at 28 weeks of gestation or earlier)
- Urticaria, rash present on one or more areas or all over the body
- Swelling of the extremities of the limb where the vaccine was injected
- Transient nodule at the injection site

The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
As with all injectable vaccines, in the event of a rare anaphylactic event following the administration of the
vaccine, supervision and appropriate medical treatment must always be immediately available.
The solvent and reconstituted vaccine must be visually inspected to ensure there are no
foreign particles and/or changes in physical appearance before reconstitution or administration. If the
above is observed, do not use the solvent or the reconstituted vaccine.
Hiberix must be reconstituted by adding the entire contents of the pre-filled syringe of solvent provided to the
vial containing the powder.
To insert the needle into the syringe, carefully read the instructions provided with images 1 and 2. However, the
syringe supplied with Hiberix may be slightly different (without threading) from the one illustrated in the drawing.
In this case, the needle must be inserted without screwing.
Needle
Syringe



Always hold the syringe by the cylinder, not by the syringe plunger or the Luer Lock Adapter (LLA),
and keep the needle in line with the syringe (as shown in figure 2). Otherwise, the LLA may
Figure 1Figure 2
deform and cause leakage.
During syringe assembly, if the LLA detaches, a new dose of vaccine (new syringe and vial) must be used.
- 1. Unscrew the syringe cap by rotating it counterclockwise (as shown in figure 1).
Whether the LLA is rotating or not, follow these steps:
- 2. Attach the needle to the syringe by gently connecting the needle hub to the LLA and rotating a quarter turn clockwise until you feel it lock (as shown in figure 2).
- 3. Remove the needle protection, which may be a little difficult.
- 4. Add the solvent to the powder. The mixture must be shaken well until the powder is completely dissolved in the solvent. The reconstituted vaccine is a clear and colourless solution.
After reconstitution, the vaccine must be injected immediately.
- 5. Withdraw the entire contents of the vial.
- 6. A new needle must be used to administer the vaccine. Unscrew the needle from the syringe and attach the injection needle, repeating step 2 above. Hiberix can be mixed with Infanrix or Infanrix HepB. In this case, the solvent of Hiberix is replaced by the liquid vaccine Infanrix or Infanrix HepB.
Ensure that the vaccine container intended for mixing with Hiberix is a single-dose container.
From the Hiberix pack, discard the container containing the solvent.
The combined vaccine is prepared by transferring the liquid vaccine into the vial containing the
lyophilised powder of Hiberix.
This extemporaneously prepared combined vaccine must be treated in the same way as the reconstituted
Hiberix monocomponent vaccine.
Unused medicinal product or waste material derived from such medicinal product should be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations.
