| What Are Vaccine Information Statements? |
|
| Vaccine Information
Statements (VISs) are information sheets produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). VISs explain both the benefits and risks of a vaccine to adult vaccine recipients and the parents or legal representatives of vaccinees
who
are children and adolescents. Federal law requires that VISs be handed out whenever certain vaccinations are given (before each dose). |
