Background: In view of high mortality and morbidity from Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) in young Papua New Guinean children, the incorporation of a Hib conjugate vaccine into a nationwide immunization program would be of major public health benefit. The choice of the Hib conjugate vaccine will be based on the evaluation of several Hib conjugate vaccines, after consideration of such factors as the ease of incorporation into the current vaccination schedule, cost, kinetics of antibody responses and safety.
Methods: This study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of Hib polysaccharide-Neisseria meningitidis outer membrane protein complex conjugate vaccine (PRP-OMPC) in Papua New Guinea.
