spacer

FARSI TRANSLATION OF THE DECEMBER 16, 1998 MMR VIS
MMR VIS
|
Current English version
This translation does not contain the following CDC updates:
spacer
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.
spacer
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.
FARSI TRANSLATION OF THE SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 PNEUMOCOCCAL VIS
Pneumococcal - PCV7 VIS
|
Current English version
This translation does not contain the following CDC updates:
spacer
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.
FARSI TRANSLATION OF THE JUNE 10, 1994 TD VIS
*Td VIS was replaced on November 18, 2008 with the Td/Tdap VIS
For the out-of-date Td translation, visit the Td/Tdap VIS section
Thanks to the California Department of Health Services for their translations.
