| This translation does 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. |

|
|
|

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. |

|
| This translation does not contain the following
CDC updates |

The meningococcal VIS has been updated slightly to incorporate ACIP's new recommendation to vaccinate all children & adolescents 11-18 years of age. The new VIS is dated (8/16/07); the change affects only the first 2 paragraphs of Section 3. 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. |
|
|
|

|
The Guillain-Barre Syndrome (second bullet just above section 6) was changed slightly: "a few" was replaced by "some" to reflect the additional cases that were reported. |

|
|
|
| This translation does not contain the following
CDC update: |
|
| • |
|
IMulti-vaccine VIS update. An updated interim edition of the pediatric multi-vaccine VIS, dated September 18, 2008, has been posted. It has been made consistent with the recently updated rotavirus VIS by noting the availability of two rotavirus vaccines in the "Routine Childhood Vaccines" section and adding "irritability" to the mild problems listed for rotavirus in the "Vaccine Risks" section. Otherwise, the VIS is identical to the 1/30/08 edition. Providers using the multi-vaccine VIS when administering Rotarix should begin using the new edition now. When Rotarix is not administered, the older edition may be used until stocks are used up. (9/18/08) |

|
|
| SOMALI 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. |

SOMALI TRANSLATION OF THE APRIL 16, 2009 PPSV VIS |

|
|
| This translation does not contain the following
CDC update: |
|
| • |
|
PPSV23 minor change.
The paragraph on pregnancy under Section 5 of the PPSV VIS has
received a minor update. In the previous edition the term "is not
recommended" was used in a way that could be misinterpreted to
mean "should never be given." In fact, while PPSV is not routinely
recommended for pregnant women it may be given under some
circumstances. The previous edition may be used until stocks are
depleted. (10/6/09) |

|
| SOMALI TRANSLATION OF THE APRIL 12, 2006 ROTAVIRUS VIS |

|
|
|
| This translation does not contain the following
CDC update: |
|
| • |
|
On October 6, 2009 the
zoster VIS was changed slightly. The main reason was to remove
active, untreated tuberculosis as a contraindication - which had
been erroneously included in the previous editions. Several other
minor updates were also made. Existing stocks may be used up, but
ensure that patients know about this change when appropriate.
