Cambodian-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Out-of-date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.
This translation does not
contain the following CDC updates:
- For 2008-09, the inactivated influenza vaccine VIS states in section
3 that all children from 6 months through 18 years of age should get
inactivated influenza vaccine.
This translation does not
contain the following CDC updates:
- For 2008-09, the live, intranasal influenza vaccine (LAIV) VIS
states in section 3 that LAIV is approved for people from 2 through 49
years of age, who are not pregnant and do not have certain health
conditions.
These translations do not
contain the following CDC updates:
- Information was added about MMRV vaccine, tied to the
March 14 MMWR, regarding increased risk of certain adverse events,
including febrile seizures, with MMRV when compared with MMR and
varicella vaccines given separately. Aside from two boxes containing
information about MMRV, both VISs are identical to the previous
editions.
- The new VISs should be used when MMRV is given; but the existing
stocks of the individual MMR and varicella VISs may be used when the
vaccines are given separately.
