Our cooperative agreement with CDC supports Immunize.org to make available Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) translations. Providing a translation along with the current English VIS reduces barriers to important vaccination information for people whose preferred language is not English.
We add new VIS translations as they become available to us. We produce translations of all VISs in many common languages and rely on generous partner organizations for translations in additional languages. However, because we rely on donated translations for some languages, all VISs are not available in all represented languages.
For Michigan Healthcare Providers
Please access English-language VISs for use within the State of Michigan provided by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
Subscribe now to be notified when new VISs and translations become available.

CDC states that an up-to-date English-language VIS should always be included when providing a VIS translation.
