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.
