Overview

Effective measures for the primary prevention of tracheitis include vaccination against viruses in children.

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.
