When giving COVID-19 vaccine is use of a Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) required?

Providing a vaccine recipient with a COVID-19 vaccine VIS is recommended by CDC but not required. The requirement to provide the VIS to a patient is present only when a vaccine is included in the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). COVID-19 vaccines are not included in the VICP at this time. The current official VIS and all available translations are available from Immunize.org: www.immunize.org/vaccines/vis/covid-19/.
