  • Title: An innovative advance to increase the use of the vaccine information statement.
    Author: Edlich RF, Olson DM, Olson BM, Greene JA, Gubler KD, Winters KL, Poe MJ, Britt LD, Long WB.
    Journal: J Emerg Med; 2007 Jul; 33(1):81-9. PubMed ID: 17630084.
    Abstract:
    Because many physicians do not use the Vaccine Information Statement (VIS), we created a revised statement that would alert the physician to the need to use the VIS. Even though the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) coordinated this evaluation, both the CDC and most of the State Board of Medical Examiners did not support this revision of the VIS. Despite the disinterest of the vast majority of the State Board of Medical Examiners, we would recommend that this updated VIS be implemented immediately to educate our society on the information in the VIS.
