spacer

HMONG TRANSLATION OF THE JANUARY 15, 2003 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.
HMONG 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)
HMONG TRANSLATION OF THE SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 PCV7 VIS
Pneumococcal - 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.
HMONG TRANSLATION OF THE JANUARY 16, 2003 SMALLPOX VIS
This translation does not contain the following CDC updates:
Smallpox VIS
|
Current English version
spacer
You will be linked to the CDC website, to download the Smallpox pre-vaccination information packet, which includes the Smallpox VIS.

*Td VIS was replaced on November 18, 2008 with the Td/Tdap VIS
For the out-of-date Td translation, visit the Td/Tdap VIS section
Thanks to the Minnesota Department of Health and the California Department of Health Services for their translations.
