In the VIS News link on the CDC website they say that providers needn't discard existing stocks of the previous edition, but should be prepared to explain the updated recommendation to their patients if they use the older version. |

|
| HAITIAN-CREOLE TRANSLATION OF THE SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 PCV7 VIS |
|
|
|
| This translation does 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. |
