|
| ARABIC TRANSLATION OF THE JANUARY 15, 2003 MMR VIS |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 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. |
|
|
|
| ARABIC TRANSLATION OF THE JULY 9, 2001 PCV7 VIS |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This translation does not contain the following
CDC updates: |
|
| • |
|
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. |

Information on the projected 3-year duration of protection has been deleted (it's likely much longer). |
