Translations
of the January 10, 2007, Chickenpox VIS
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.
