The Pentavac (pentavalent vaccine, manufactured by India, SII (DTwP\u2010HepB\u2010Hib)) was introduced to the Iranian National Immunization Plan in November 2014. The aim of this study is to investigate <jats:italic>H. influenzae<\/jats:italic> type b (<jats:italic>Hib<\/jats:italic>) carrier rate among children under 6 years old in Tehran. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. This cross\u2010sectional study was performed on 902 children including vaccinated\/unvaccinated in the age of 6 months to 6 years, in Tehran. Sampling was performed from July 2019 to September 2019. Nasopharyngeal samples were taken from children by sterile swab. The PCR method was used to extract DNA. Then, all <jats:italic>H. influenzae<\/jats:italic> isolates were initially confirmed by molecular tests. <jats:italic>BexA<\/jats:italic> was used to distinguish typeable <jats:italic>H. influenzae<\/jats:italic> strains from nontypeable <jats:italic>Haemophilus influenzae<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>NTHi<\/jats:italic>). <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. A total of 902 children were enrolled in the study: 452 were female (51%). <jats:italic>H. influenzae<\/jats:italic> carriage rate was 267 (29%), of that 150 samples (16.6%) were typeable. The nasopharyngeal <jats:italic>Hib<\/jats:italic> carrier rate in the children was 2.6% (24\/902). 262 cases did not receive <jats:italic>Hib<\/jats:italic> vaccine. Analysis in nonnursery\u2019s children aged 4 to 6 (unvaccinated) years showed that the lower educational level of father, mother, and family number correlated with increased odds of colonization of children with <jats:italic>Hib<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Our findings showed a significant decrease (60%) in the overall <jats:italic>Hib<\/jats:italic> nasopharyngeal carriage in healthy children under six years after 5 years after the start of Hib vaccination.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/4923852","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,16]],"date-time":"2021-03-16T19:50:09Z","timestamp":1615924209000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effect of <i>Haemophilus influenzae<\/i> Type b Vaccination on Nasopharyngeal Carriage Rate in Children, Tehran, 2019"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"Sedigheh Rafiei","family":"Tabatabaei","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Mohammadzadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seyed Mohsen","family":"Zahraei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sussan","family":"Mahmoudi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ghazaleh","family":"Ghandchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8293-934X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seyedeh Mahsan","family":"Hoseini-Alfatemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdollah","family":"Karimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmadreza","family":"Shamshiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_1_2","article-title":"Antibiotic susceptibility patterns in h.
