Vaccine Information Statement

Vaccine Information Statement

A Vaccine Information Statement, or VIS, is a document produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that informs vaccine recipients – or their parents or legal representatives – about the benefits and risks of a vaccine they are receiving.

In addition to information about the vaccine’s risks and benefits, VISs contain information that may be useful later (e.g., information about what to do in the case of an adverse reaction, and where to find additional information about the disease or vaccine).
