Haemophilus influenzae causes severe infections such as pneumonia and meningitis. Here, we report the complete genome of H. influenzae type a strain TAMBA230, which was isolated in 2019 from a patient exhibiting bacteremia. This represents the first case in Japan of an H. influenzae type a strain associated with invasive infection.
