Vaccine
Information Statements
Vaccine Information Statements (VISs) are information sheets
produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) that explain to vaccine recipients, their parents, or
their legal representatives both the benefits and risks of
a vaccine. Federal law (exit) requires that VISs be handed
out whenever (before each dose) certain vaccinations are given.
Detailed
recommendations for using vaccines are available from the
manufacturers' package inserts, Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices (ACIP) statements on specific vaccines, and the
2003 American Academy of Pediatrics Red Book. ACIP statements
for all recommended childhood vaccines can be viewed, downloaded,
and printed on this website at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/ACIP-list.htm
Guidance
on how to obtain and complete a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting
System (VAERS) form is available at www.vaers.hhs.gov
or by telephone, (800) 822-7967.

HOW
FLU SPREADS
Flu viruses spread in respiratory droplets caused by coughing
and sneezing. They usually spread from person to person but
sometimes people become infected by touching something with
flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Flu
can be passed 1 day before and up to five days after becoming
sick. That means you can pass on the flu to someone else before
you know you are sick as well as while you are sick. |
PREVENTING
THE FLU GET VACCINATED!!!!!
The single best way to prevent the flu is to
get a flu vaccination each fall. There are two types of
vaccines: The "flu shot" is given with a needle
and is approved for use in people older than 6 months, this
includes healthy people and people with chronic medical
conditions. The nasal spray flu vaccine, is approved for
use in healthy people 5 years to 49 years of age who are
not pregnant.
|
PROTECT YOURSELF IN OTHER WAYS
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick. If you are
sick keep your distance from others.
- If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough
or sneeze.
- Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes,
nose or mouth as much as you possibly can.
