Why was a Multi-Vaccine VIS developed?
It was developed with the earliest pediatric visits (i.e., birth through 6 months) in mind. Up to 6 vaccinations could be given during these visits, meaning (for the provider) that 6 individual VISs would have to be downloaded, printed and distributed and (for the patient) 6 documents would have to be read, containing much information that is duplicated. The multi-vaccine VIS is an effort to simplify and streamline this process.
