Background
▪PRP-OMP ( PedvaxHIB ) is preferentially recommended for American 
Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) infants
•It provides a protective antibody response after the first dose
•Historically, Hib meningitis peaked at an earlier age among AI/AN 
infants
▪Vaxelis (DTaP -IPV-Hib-HepB ) does not currently have a preferential 
recommendation for AI/AN infants because
•It contains PRP -OMP in a lower amount than PedvaxHIB
•Post -dose 1 immunogenicity data were not previously available

Policy question
Should Vaxelis (DTaP -IPV-Hib-HepB ) be included with 
PedvaxHIB  in the preferential recommendation for 
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) infants?

Work Group activities
▪Review the epidemiology of invasive Hib disease in AI/AN 
populations and evidence supporting the existing preferential 
recommendation for PedvaxHIB
▪Review clinical trial data on post -dose 1 immunogenicity of Vaxelis 
vs. PedvaxHIB
▪Develop draft policy recommendation based on grading of 
recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation 
(GRADE) and the evidence to recommendations ( EtR) framework
