Health Updates
Vaccine Information Statements (VIS) are official documents developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that provide essential details about vaccines, including their benefits, potential risks, and what to expect before, during, and after vaccination. These statements are designed to help parents make informed decisions about their child's health and ensure they understand the importance of immunizations in preventing serious diseases. By reviewing this information, parents can stay informed about vaccine schedules, safety, and effectiveness, giving them peace of mind and confidence in protecting their children and the community.
