Abstract
⺠We reviewed South African laboratory-confirmed Hib disease among children. ⺠Half of invasive Hib disease was classified as vaccine failures. ⺠More than half of these vaccine failures were in children older than 18 months. ⺠Just more than half of these vaccine failures occurred in HIV-uninfected children. ⺠Additional doses of Hib vaccine in routine programs needs further investigation.
