Hmong-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Out-of-date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.
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.
This translation does not contain the
following CDC updates:
- Section 1: The
answer has been rewritten by CDC.
- Section 2: There
are now 2 doses; the first dose is 12-15 months and the second
dose is 4-6 years.
- CDC added information
on MMRV.
- The URL for Vaccine
Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has changed to www.vaers.hhs.gov.
- The URL for the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Programs has changed
to www.hrsa.gov/vaccincompensation.
These translations do not contain the
following CDC updates:
- 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.
- A final version will be developed.
You will be linked to the CDC website,
to download the Smallpox pre-vaccination information packet,
which includes the Smallpox VIS.
Please note: there are supplements that come with this VIS, but the
supplements have not been translated, just the VIS.
Thanks to
the Minnesota Department of Health and the California Department
of Health Services for their translations.This page was updated on
