| The multi-vaccine VIS may be used in place of individual VISs whenever routine birth through 6-month vaccines (DTaP, IPV, Hib, hepatitis B, PCV, and rotavirus) are administered, or when combination vaccines are used (e.g., Pediarix or Comvax). Using the multi-vaccine VIS is an alternative to providing single-vaccine VISs for each of these six vaccines. You don't need to give all 6 vaccines at one time in order to use this new VIS. This VIS may also be used when two or more of these vaccines are given together at other pediatric visits (e.g., 12-15 months or 4-6 years). |
|
| Do not use the multi-vaccine VIS for vaccines given to adolescents or adults. |
|
| Before you hand this new VIS to the patient, you MUST go to page 1 of the VIS and place a check mark in front of the name of each vaccine you will be administering at that visit. |
|
| Note that this new multi-vaccine VIS contains four 8-1/2" x 11" pages, in contrast to the standard single-vaccine VIS which contains two pages. |
|
| CDC would appreciate hearing any feedback about the Multi-vaccine VIS from either programs or individual providers. Please direct any comments to the NIPINFO mailbox at nipinfo@cdc.gov. |

Multi-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) |
