Frequently asked questions about MenHibrix

What is MenHibrix?
MenHibrix is a combination vaccine that protects your child from meningococcal disease caused by the N. meningitidis groups C and Y bacteria (types of the same bacteria), as well as Hib disease from the Haemophilus influenzae type b bacteria. Both infections can lead to meningitis, a serious and sometimes life-threatening infection of the lining of the brain and spinal cord. Hib disease can also cause other illnesses, like mild ear infections and more serious bloodstream infections. MenHibrix helps prevent these serious infections in children.
Is MenHibrix still available?
No, MenHibrix has been discontinued and is no longer available in the United States.
Why was MenHibrix discontinued?
MenHibrix was discontinued because of low demand for the vaccine. However, other vaccines that target both bacteria are still available and often used today. You or your child can receive Menactra or Menveo (meningococcal conjugate vaccine), which gives protection against N. meningitidis groups A, C, W, and Y. Your child can get protection from Hib by receiving Acthib or Hiberix (Hib vaccine) or Pentacel (Dtap / polio / Hib vaccine).
