How Novohib Injection works
Novohib Injection is a vaccine which helps develop immunity by initiating a mild infection. This type of infection does not cause illness but stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies (proteins) to protect against any future infections.
Quick tips
- Novohib Injection is usually given to infants and young children to protect against Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) infections, such as meningitis and pneumonia. Make sure your child receives the full course as per the vaccination schedule recommended by the doctor.
- Do not self-administer this medicine. It should only be given by a doctor trained in handling pediatric vaccines and managing any immediate allergic reactions.
- Observe the child for 15 to 30 minutes after vaccination. Mild fever, irritability, or slight swelling at the injection site is common, but if trouble breathing, high fever, or unusual drowsiness occurs, seek medical help right away.
- If your child is already unwell or has a fever, inform the doctor before using Novohib Injection. Delay might be advised in some cases to avoid overlapping symptoms.
- Let the doctor know if your child has had a previous severe allergic reaction to any vaccine.

Frequently asked questions
Novohib Injection is a Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) conjugate vaccine used to protect children against serious infections like meningitis, pneumonia, and epiglottitis caused by the Hib bacteria. It helps build immunity early in life to prevent invasive disease.
Novohib Injection is recommended for infants and young children (starting at 6 weeks of age), and unvaccinated older children and adults with certain medical conditions that increase the risk of Hib infection.
Novohib Injection is usually given to infants at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age, following India's routine immunization schedule. It is administered as a 0.5 mL intramuscular injection into the thigh. Your pediatrician may guide the exact schedule.
Novohib Injection is given as an intramuscular injection (into the muscle), usually in the thigh or upper arm of your child. The number of doses and schedule depend on the age of the child being vaccinated. Your doctor will determine the appropriate schedule.
Yes, Novohib Injection is clinically proven to be safe and effective for babies. It is widely recommended in pediatric immunization programs and is backed by safety studies. Mild side effects may occur but are usually temporary.
A mild fever after the Novohib Injection is normal and usually short-lived. You can give paracetamol (as per doctor's advice) and keep your child hydrated. If the fever persists for more than 2 days or gets worse, consult your doctor.
Novohib Injection should not be given to children who are allergic to any component like aluminium phosphate, thiomersal, or tetanus toxoid. It should also be avoided if the child has a high fever or severe illness at the time of vaccination.
Yes, Novohib Injection can be safely given alongside DTP, measles, polio (OPV/IPV), hepatitis B, and yellow fever vaccines, as well as vitamin A supplementation. It must be administered at a different site and not mixed in the same syringe.
Aluminium phosphate helps boost the immune response, while thiomersal is a preservative used in multi-dose vials. Both are used in very small amounts in Novohib Injection and are considered safe for infants, based on global health authority guidelines.
The risk of Hib infection drops significantly after complete vaccination with Novohib Injection. According to clinical studies, 96.8 per cent of infants developed long-term protective immunity after completing all three doses of Novohib Injection.
Though rare, allergic reactions to Novohib Injection like hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face require immediate medical attention. Ensure that vaccination is done in a facility where emergency care is available, as recommended in the vaccine guidelines.
Novohib Injection provides long-term protection against Hib infections. Most children who complete the recommended series are protected for many years, often into adulthood.
No, Novohib Injection cannot cause Hib infection because it contains only a part of the bacteria (the polysaccharide), not the live bacteria itself.
