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.

Most of the changes to this VIS relate to the current exclusive use of the acellular DTaP; the previous VIS included the whole-cell DTP, which is no longer used in the U.S.

Rates of reactions (problems) that might be expected following DTaP have been changed and are generally lower that those following DTP.
