Vaccine Information Statements (VISs) are information sheets produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that explains vaccine benefits and risks. Federal law requires that a vaccine-specific VIS be handed out before each dose of a vaccine is given. You can also find a copy of the new H1N1 flu vaccine VIS online at http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/vis/default.htm#h1n1live. There are two separate VISs, one for the intranasal H1N1 vaccine and the other for the injectable (or inactivated) H1N1 vaccine. The VISs for the H1N1 vaccines are available in multiple languages.
