Patient Information
Vaccine Information Statements are required by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 to be given prior to immunization to the patient, parent, or guardian.
Inform the patients, parents, or guardians about the potential benefits and risks of the vaccine and importance of completing the immunization series unless a contraindication to further immunization exists. In addition to this, parents and guardians must be informed about the potential for adverse reactions that have been temporarily associated with the administration of ActHIB vaccine or other vaccines containing similar ingredients. Prior to administration of ActHIB vaccine, healthcare providers should ask parents or guardians about the recent health status of the infant or child to be immunized. As part of the child's immunization record, the date, lot number, and manufacturer of the vaccine administered should be recorded. (13) (14) (15) Vaccine recipients and guardians must report any adverse reactions upon administration of the vaccine to their healthcare provider and/or to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

5.3 Altered Immunocompetence
In immunosuppressed persons, including those receiving immunosuppressive therapy, the expected antibody responses may not be obtained.
5.4 Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness
Vaccination with ActHIB vaccine may not protect 100% of individuals.
5.5 Tetanus Immunization
Immunization with ActHIB vaccine does not substitute for routine tetanus immunization.
5.6 Interference with Laboratory Tests
Urine antigen detection may not have a diagnostic value in suspected disease due to H. influenzae type b within 1 to 2 weeks after receipt of a H. influenzae type b-containing vaccine, including ActHIB [see Drug Interactions (7.3)].
6 Adverse Reactions ⮝
6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a vaccine cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another vaccine and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
More than 7,000 infants and young children ( 2 years of age) have received at least one dose of ActHIB vaccine during US clinical trials. Of these, 1,064 subjects 12 to 24 months of age who received ActHIB vaccine alone reported no serious or life threatening adverse reactions.(1) (2)
Adverse reactions associated with ActHIB vaccine generally subsided after 24 hours and did not persist beyond 48 hours after immunization.
In a US trial, the safety of ActHIB vaccine was evaluated in 110 children 15 to 20 months of age. All children received three doses of Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine (ActHIB vaccine or a previously licensed Haemophilus b conjugate vaccine) at approximately 2, 4, and 6 months of age. The incidence of selected solicited injection site and systemic adverse reactions which occurred within 48 hours following the dose of ActHIB vaccine is shown in Table 1.

One SAE of seizure with apnea occurring on the day of vaccination with the first dose of the three vaccines was determined by the investigators as possibly related. Within 30 days following Dose 4, four of 418 (1.0%) participants who received DAPTACEL + ActHIB vaccines experienced a serious adverse event. None was assessed by the investigators as related to the study of vaccines.
6.2 Postmarketing Experience
The following events have been spontaneously reported during the post-approval use of ActHIB vaccine. Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to vaccine exposure.
- Immune system disorders:
Anaphylaxis, other allergic/hypersensitivity reactions (including urticaria, angioedema)- Nervous system disorders:
Convulsions- General disorders and administration site conditions:
Extensive limb swelling, peripheral edema, pruritus, rash (including generalized rash)
7 Drug Interactions ⮝
7.1 Concomitant Administration with Other Vaccines
In clinical trials, ActHIB vaccine was administered, at separate sites, concomitantly with one or more of the following vaccines: DTaP; Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine (MMR); Hepatitis B vaccine; and Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine (IPV). No impairment of the antibody response to the individual antigens was demonstrated when ActHIB vaccine was given at the same time but separate sites with these vaccines. (2)
7.2 Immunosuppressive Treatments
Immunosuppressive therapies, including irradiation, antimetabolites, alkylating agents, cytotoxic drugs, and corticosteroids (used in greater than physiologic doses) may reduce the immune response to ActHIB vaccine [see Altered Immunocompetence (5.3)].
7.3 Interference with Laboratory Tests
Haemophilus b capsular polysaccharide derived from Haemophilus b Conjugate Vaccines has been detected in the urine of some vaccinees. Urine antigen detection may not have a diagnostic value in suspected disease due to H. influenzae type b within 1 to 2 weeks after receipt of a H. influenzae type b-containing vaccine, including ActHIB [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)].(3)
8 Use In Specific Populations ⮝
8.1 Pregnancy
ActHIB is not approved for use in individuals 6 years of age and older. No human or animal data are available to assess vaccine-associated risks in pregnancy.
8.2 Lactation
ActHIB is not approved for use in individuals 6 years of age and older. Human or animal data are not available to assess the impact of ActHIB on milk production, its presence in breast milk, or its effects on the breastfed infant.
8.4 Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of ActHIB have not been established in infants below the age of 6 weeks and children and adolescents 6 years of age and older [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].
11 Description ⮝
ActHIB vaccine is a sterile, lyophilized powder to be reconstituted with saline diluent (0.4% Sodium Chloride) for intramuscular administration only. The vaccine consists of the Haemophilus influenzae type b capsular polysaccharide (polyribosyl-ribitol-phosphate, PRP), a high-molecular-weight polymer prepared from the H. influenzae type b strain 1482 grown in a semi-synthetic medium, covalently bound to tetanus toxoid. (4) The lyophilized ActHIB vaccine powder and saline diluent contain no preservative. The tetanus toxoid is prepared by extraction, ammonium sulfate purification, and formalin inactivation of the toxin from cultures of Clostridium tetani (Harvard strain) grown in a modified Mueller and Miller medium. (5) The culture medium contains milk-derived raw materials (casein derivatives). Further manufacturing process steps reduce residual formaldehyde to levels below 0.5 micrograms (mcg) per dose by calculation. The toxoid is filter sterilized prior to the conjugation process. Potency of ActHIB vaccine is specified on each lot by limits on the content of PRP polysaccharide and protein in each dose and the proportion of polysaccharide and protein in the vaccine that is characterized as high molecular weight conjugate.
When ActHIB is reconstituted with saline diluent (0.4% Sodium Chloride), each 0.5-mL dose is formulated to contain 10 mcg of purified capsular polysaccharide conjugated to 24 mcg of inactivated tetanus toxoid and 8.5% of sucrose.
The vial stoppers for ActHIB vaccine and diluent are not made with natural rubber latex.
12 Clinical Pharmacology ⮝
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae) is a gram-negative coccobacillus. Most strains of H. influenzae that cause invasive disease (e.g., sepsis and meningitis) are H. influenzae type b.
The response to ActHIB vaccine is typical of a T-dependent immune response to antigens. The prominent isotype of anti-capsular PRP antibody induced by ActHIB vaccine is IgG. (6) A booster response for IgG has been demonstrated in children 12 months of age or older who previously received two or three doses of ActHIB vaccine. Bactericidal activity against H. influenzae type b was demonstrated in serum after immunization and correlated with the anti-PRP antibody response induced by ActHIB vaccine. (1)
Antibody titers to H. influenzae capsular polysaccharide (anti-PRP) of >1.0 mcg/mL following vaccination with unconjugated PRP vaccine correlated with long-term protection against invasive H. influenzae type b disease in children older than 24 months of age. (7) Although the relevance of this threshold to clinical protection after immunization with conjugate vaccines is not known, particularly in light of the induced, immunologic memory, this level continues to be considered as indicative of long-term protection. (8) In clinical studies, ActHIB vaccine induced, on average, anti-PRP levels 1.0 mcg/mL in 90% of infants after the primary series (2, 4, and 6 months) and in more than 98% of infants following a booster dose given at 15 to 19 months of age. (1)
13 Non-clinical Toxicology ⮝
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
ActHIB vaccine has not been evaluated for its carcinogenic or mutagenic potential or impairment of male fertility.
14 Clinical Studies ⮝
14.1 Immunogenicity of ActHIB Vaccine in Children 2, 4, and 6 Months of Age
Two clinical trials supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have compared the anti-PRP antibody responses to three Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccines in racially mixed populations of children. These studies were done in Tennessee (9) (Table 3) and in Minnesota, Missouri, and Texas (10) (Table 4) in infants immunized with ActHIB vaccine and other Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccines at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. All Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccines were administered concomitantly with OPV and whole-cell DTP vaccines at separate sites. Neither OPV nor whole-cell DTP vaccines are licensed or distributed in the US currently.

In a clinical study enrolling Alaskan Native Americans, following the administration of a three-dose series of ActHIB vaccine at 6 weeks, 4 months, and 6 months of age, 75% of subjects achieved an anti-PRP antibody titer of 1.0 mcg/mL at 7 months of age (1 month after the last vaccination). (11)
14.2 Immunogenicity of ActHIB Vaccine in Children 12 to 24 Months of Age
In four separate studies, children 12 to 24 months of age who had not previously received Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccination were immunized with a single dose of ActHIB vaccine (Table 5). Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of anti-PRP antibody responses were 5.12 mcg/mL (90% responding with 1.0 mcg/mL) for children 12 to 15 months of age and 4.4 mcg/mL (82% responding with 1.0 mcg/mL) for children 17 to 24 months of age.

Following two doses of ActHIB vaccine given at two-month intervals, 89% of these children (mean age 11 months) had anti-PRP antibody titers of 1.0 mcg/mL. This is comparable to anti-PRP antibody levels demonstrated in children without sickle-cell anemia of similar age following two doses of ActHIB vaccine. (12)
