Drug interaction
This vaccine can be administered simultaneously with the M-M-RVAXPRO vaccine or with the HBVAXPRO vaccine, but in two separate sites. Interference with laboratory tests: Since the Hib capsular polysaccharide antigen is excreted in the urine, a positive urine test can be observed within 1 to 2 weeks following vaccination. Other tests should be performed in order to confirm Hib infection during this period. Interaction studies were performed in adults only.
