Did You Know? Fed Law requires patients/guardians to receive Vaccination Information Statements before every dose.
What’s a VIS?
A VIS or Vaccine Information Statement is a document, produced by CDC, that informs vaccine recipients - or their parents or legal representatives - about the benefits and risks of a vaccine they are receiving.
According to Federal Law - the appropriate VIS must be given:
-
Prior to the vaccination (and prior to each dose of a multi-dose series);
-
Regardless of the age of the vaccinee;
-
Regardless of whether the vaccine is given in a public or private health care setting.
