Vaccine Information Statements (VIS)

Vaccine Information Statements (VISs) are information sheets produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that explain to vaccine recipients, their parents, or their legal representatives both the benefits and risks of a vaccine. Federal law requires that VISs be handed out whenever (before each dose) certain vaccinations are given.

Visit the Immunization Action Coalition  for current Vaccine Information Statements. You will find VISs in over 20 languages, including English.
