Turkish-language VISs
Out-of-date
The translations for some VISs on our website are from previously
published English-language versions that have since been updated.
Unfortunately, IAC is not always able to obtain translations as
updates are issued. Please ensure that your patients receive
information consistent with the current English-language version of
the following VISs.
You are
encouraged to distribute the up-to-date English-language
VIS at the
same time as the translation.
These translations do not contain the
following CDC update:
- The CDC posted an updated interim PCV
VIS on 12/9/08. The main reason is to incorporate recent changes in
recommendations for 2-4 year olds, but there are other changes
throughout as well. There are no changes in contraindications or adverse
events, but to prevent parents from getting confused about the
differences in indications (especially when the vaccine is administered
to 2-4 year olds) it would be best for providers to start using the new
version right away. Existing stocks CAN still be used temporarily if
immediately switching to the new version is a problem.
Thanks to Mustafa Kozanoglu MD, a Pediatrician in Adana, Turkey and
Dr. Murat Serbest MD, pediatric hematologist for their translations.
