Has anyone had hib vaccine for asthma /bronchiectas?

[cofdrop-UK]

It’s a no for me. My con did send me to an immunologist and he explained that the HIB vaccine given to children was for type B HI and the type of HI we have is NON TYPE. Interestingly the immunologist he replaced did give the vac!

Saying this I have heard some people with Bronch who have had the HIB vac appear to have reduced HI infections.

Noting’s straighforward with bronch!!!!

Thank you cofdrop your advice much appreciated

I am pretty sure that my consultant asked my GP to give it to me, probably 15 years ago. I don’t get HI but tend to think that’s because the pseudomonas keeps it away!

What is it?

Yes I have had the injection. HIB stands for haemophilus influenzae bacteria.

I haven't been offered it despite nasty bout a year ago told it had colonized in my lungs. Was checked for immunity against Pseudomonas & blood test showed little or non. So had vaccine & repeat bloods were done & much improved
