The name coupon arose because in the past, paper bond certificates were issued which had coupons attached to them, one for each interest payment. On the due dates the bondholder would hand in the coupon to a bank in exchange for the interest payment.
Hib vaccine. Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine is a vaccine used to prevent Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) infection. In countries that include it as a routine vaccine, rates of severe Hib infections have decreased more than 90%. It has therefore resulted in a decrease in the rate of meningitis, pneumonia, and epiglottitis.
Meningococcal group C (MenC) conjugate vaccine is part of the combined Hib and MenC conjugate vaccine given between 12 and 13 months and MenACWY (replacing MenC booster) at around 14 years. Men B vaccine is now also part of the primary immunisation programme, given with the infant's first and third routine vaccinations (at 2 months and 4 months of age) and a booster given between 12 and 13 months.
