|
Current English version
This translation does not contain the following CDC updates:
spacer
On July 18, the CDC posted an interim VIS for hepatitis B. There are minor changes throughout, but the main purpose of the update is to emphasize the birth dose for all children
spacer
A final version will be developed.
HINDI TRANSLATION OF THE SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 PCV7 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.
Thanks to the Minnesota Department of Health and the California Department of Health Services for their translations.
