Vaccine May Reduce Incidence of Meningitis-Related Hearing Impairment.
Smith, Dorothy
Perspectives for Teachers of the Hearing Impaired, v6 n4 p11-12 Mar-Apr 1988
Hearing loss as a result of meningitis, now the leading nongenetic cause of deafness in infants and young children, may be reduced by the introduction of the HiB (Hemophilus influenzae type B) vaccine. It is highly effective, relatively safe, and recommended for most children over 24 months and high risk children 18-24 months old. (VW)
