But, the vaccine does not pose a health threat, U.S. health officials announced Wednesday. The company voluntarily recalled two lots of the Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccine . Haemophilus influenzae is a group of bacteria that may cause different types of infections in infants and children. They include ear, eye, or sinus infections and pneumonia. The more serious but rare strain can cause meningitis and a life-threatening infection called epiglottitis."
