Primary Prevention
Primary Prevention
Tracheitis, along with other respiratory tract infections can be prevented by vaccines designed against both viral and bacterial organisms. This includes Haemophilus Influenzae Type b (Hib) conjugate vaccine and Pneumococcal vaccine (Conjugate and Polysaccharide). Vaccines against viruses ( Measles. Influenza Virus) can also help to prevent viral upper respiratory tract infections which further predispose to bacterial tracheitis. [2] [3]
