Children should get Hib vaccine at:

2 months of age
6 months of age - this dose is dependent on the brand of Hib vaccine.
4 months of age
12-15 months of age

If you miss a dose or get behind schedule, get the next dose as soon as you can. There is no need to start over. Hib vaccine may be given at the same time as other vaccines.
