Vaccine Information Statements

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.

Providers Can Order VIS Through Local Health Departments

Vaccine Information Statements (VIS) are available to view and access on the CDC website. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) will be transitioning away from printed versions in the warehouse.
