Is there a Vaccine Information Sheet (VIS) available for MMRV vaccine?
Yes, a VIS for MMRV vaccine will be available soon. Use the MMR VIS until the new MMRV VIS is posted. The law requires that a Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) be given out whenever certain vaccinations are administered, including MMR, varicella or MMRV vaccines. The VIS is a one-page (two-sided) information sheet produced by CDC and informs vaccine recipients — or their parents or legal representatives — about the benefits and risks of a vaccine. Consult CDC’s Vaccines site for more information about VISs.
