Hib Disease Information Center

Welcome to the Hib Disease Information Center

Hibdisease.com is a comprehensive online resource developed by the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) to promote recognition and education of Haemophilus Influenzae type b, or Hib disease, among parents and healthcare providers.

"In the U.S., there are still too many cases of Hib disease every year, which can jeopardize a child's ability to talk, walk or perform daily activities by himself or herself. The Hib Disease Information Cener is a powerful tool, reminding us why both healthcare providers and parents must remain diligent in maintaining high immunization rates."

NAPNAP has launched the Hib Disease Information Center to (1) remind parents why they need to vaccinate against this lethal disease; (2) encourage diligence among healthcare providers in immunizing against Hib; (3) promote prompt recognition and reporting of Hib cases by healthcare providers.

NAPNAP welcomes you to the Hib Disease Information Center and hopes you enjoy your tour!
