Vaccine Information Statement

A Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) is an official document provided by health authorities that explains the benefits, risks, and possible side effects of a specific vaccine. It is given to patients before vaccination to help them make informed decisions. The VIS covers important details such as how the vaccine works, who should or shouldn’t receive it, and what to expect afterward. Its purpose is to ensure people have clear, accurate information to understand the vaccine’s role in preventing disease and to promote transparency and informed consent in immunization.
