Vaccine Information Statements

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.

All VIS files are in Adobe PDF format. They may be downloaded, printed, and used as camera-ready copy. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can download a copy of it from the Adobe web site.
