Out-of-date translations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.
SPANISH TRANSLATION OF THE JULY 18, 2007 HEPATITIS B VIS
Hepatitis B VIS
|
Current English version
These translations do not contain the following CDC update:
spacer
In addition to minor language changes throughout, changes include updates to some of the epidemiologic statistics in Part 1, inclusion of the routine schedules and addition of diabetes as an indication for patients 60 and older in Part 3, and a note in Part 4 about waiting to donate blood following vaccination.
SPANISH TRANSLATIONS OF THE MARCH 30, 2010 HPV VISs
HPV (Gardasil) VIS
|
Current English version
These translations do not contain the following CDC update:
spacer
Both VISs for human papillomavirus vaccines (Cervarix and Gardasil) have received minor updates to incorporate Gardasil's approval for prevention of anal cancer. ACIP recommendations have not changed. Stocks of the existing HPV VISs may be used up. (5/4/11)
SPANISH TRANSLATION OF THE JULY 18, 2007 HEPATITIS B VIS
Hepatitis B VIS
|
Current English version
These translations do not contain the following CDC update:
spacer
Minor changes. The routine schedule will be included again, as CDC has had several requests for it.
SPANISH TRANSLATION OF THE MARCH 1, 2010 JAPANESE ENCEPHALITIS VIS
Japanese encephalitis VIS
|
Current English version
This translation does not contain the following CDC update:
spacer
The updated VIS reflects the fact that Ixiaro is now the only available vaccine for Japanese encephalitis. Minor changes concern patients younger than 17 (who can no longer be advised to get JE-VAX) and recommendations for booster doses. See the Note to Providers (also accessible from the main VIS page) for more information on these topics. Existing stocks of the previous (3/1/10) Ixiaro VIS may still be used, although it refers to JE-VAX as still being available.
SPANISH 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.
SPANISH TRANSLATION OF THE JANUARY 12, 2006 RABIES VIS
Rabies VIS
|
Current English version
This translation does not contain the following CDC update:
spacer
The rabies VIS has been updated, mainly to incorporate the new 4-dose post exposure regimen, but also to make minor updates throughout. (10/6/09)
SPANISH TRANSLATION OF THE JANUARY 1, 2000 POLIO - IPV VIS
Polio - IPV VIS
|
Current English version
This translation does not contain the following CDC update:
spacer
This edition does not differ significantly from the previous edition, particularly with regard to contraindications and adverse events. CDC encourages use of a new VIS upon publication; however, existing stocks of the previous edition may be used up.
SPANISH TRANSLATION OF THE JANUARY 16, 2003 SMALLPOX VIS
Smallpox VIS
|
Current English version
SPANISH TRANSLATION OF THE NOVEMBER 18, 2008 TD/TDAP VIS
Td-Tdap VIS
|
Current English version
This translation does not contain the following CDC updates:
spacer
There are minor wording changes throughout, and a conversion to the new VIS format. The main reason for the change is to incorporate updated ACIP recommendations regarding children 7 through 9 years of age, adults 65 and older, and pregnant women; and to add a paragraph about the risk of syncope. Because of this addition to the "risks" section, CDC encourages providers to begin using the updated edition as soon as possible.
Thanks to the Minnesota Department of Health and the California Department of Health Services for their translations.
