The graph above is a visual representation of the changes over time in the number of cases of haemophilus influenza type B in the NYSEIP ABCs catchment area. Each point on the graphed line represents the number of cases for that year, starting in 1999 through to 2007. The solid line on the graph represents the national goal (Health People 2010 Objectives) of reaching zero cases of haemophilus influenza type B by the year 2010. Cases in the NYSEIP ABCs catchment area have been declining since 1999.
