title: [Current status of immunization against Haemophilus influenzae type b in children in Poland].
abstract: The estimated incidence of Hib infections in Poland is about 29/100,000 children below 5 years of age (like in UK), the number of invasive infections particularly of purulent Hib meningitis is about 425-850 cases yearly. It indicates on necessity of immunisation against Haemophilus influenzae type B. The first own experience in vaccination with TetractHib or ActHib in 368 infants confirmed its safety in agreement with large studies of many foreign authors.
