Out-of-date translations

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 of the following VISs.
CHINESE TRANSLATION OF THE JANUARY 10, 2007 CHICKENPOX VIS
Chickenpox VIS
|
Current English version
This translation does not contain the following CDC updates:
spacer
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.
spacer
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.
CHINESE TRANSLATION OF THE JULY 30, 2001 DTAP VIS
DTaP VIS
|
Current English version

spacer

spacer
The mortality rate for tetanus in Section 1 changed from 1 out of 10, to 2 out of 10 cases
spacer

CHINESE TRANSLATION OF THE JULY 11, 2001 HEPATITIS B VIS
Hepatitis B VIS
|
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.
CHINESE TRANSLATION OF THE OCTOBER 7, 2005 MENINGOCOCCAL VIS
Meningococcal VIS
|
Current English version
This translation does not contain the following CDC updates
spacer
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.
spacer
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.
CHINESE TRANSLATION OF THE OCTOBER 7, 2005 MMR VIS
MMR VIS
|
Current English version
This translation does not contain the following CDC updates
spacer
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.
spacer
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.
CHINESE TRANSLATION OF THE JANUARY 30, 2008 MULTI-VACCINE VIS
Multi-vaccine VIS
|
Current English version
This translation does not contain the following CDC update:
spacer
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)
CHINESE TRANSLATION OF THE SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 PCV7 VIS
PCV7 VIS
|
Current English version
This translation does not contain the following CDC update:
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.
CHINESE TRANSLATION OF THE JULY 29, 1997 PPSV VIS
PPSV VIS
|
Current English version
This translation does not contain the following CDC update:
spacer
The updated PPSV VIS incorporates recent changes in ACIP recommendations regarding indications, mainly for smokers and people with asthma.
