What Is Vaccination Information Statement
A Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) is an information sheet produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that explains the benefits and risks of a specific vaccine. Federal law requires healthcare providers to provide a VIS to the patient (or parent/legal guardian) before administering each dose of certain vaccines. [1, 2]

- The Disease: A brief description of the illness the vaccine prevents.
