Vaccine Information Statements for Michigan
Michigan-specific Vaccine Information Statements (VIS)
A Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) is a one-page, two-sided, information sheet, produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). VIS inform vaccine recipients - or their parents or legal representatives - about the benefits and risks of a vaccine. Federal law requires that VIS be given out whenever certain vaccinations are given. The VIS must be given out at the time of each vaccination - prior to administration of the vaccine.
In Michigan, it is important that vaccine recipients, their parents, or their legal representatives be given the Michigan versions of VIS because they include information about the Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR). By state law in Michigan, parents must be informed about MCIR. Vaccine Information Statements that are obtained from other sources (e.g., from the CDC or IAC websites) do not contain information about MCIR.
Providers Can Order VIS Through Local Health Departments
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) makes multiple copies of most of the Vaccine Information Statements (VIS) available to local health departments, with two exceptions. MDHHS does not provide multiple copies of influenza VIS or foreign language VIS. With those exceptions, providers can order copies of the VIS through their local health departments free of charge using the Immunization Material Order Form.
COVID-19 Vaccines Under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA):
Some COVID-19 vaccines are still under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). EUAs also have Michigan-specific versions. The Michigan EUA sheets can be found at the following links:
