IAC recently revised the following two handouts.
(1) IAC changed the name of a newly developed form from “Refusal of Vaccination for My Child” to “Decision to Not Vaccinate My Child.” Intended to be reviewed and signed by the parent, the form includes information about how an unvaccinated child might get seriously ill or could spread disease to another person. A second page includes background information and reference material for healthcare professionals. Go to: http://www.immunize.org/catg.d/p4059.pdf
(2) IAC updated “It’s federal law! You must give your patients current Vaccine Information Statements (VISs)” to include all new and revised VISs released through November 8, 2011. Go to: http://www.immunize.org/catg.d/p2027.pdf
IAC’s Handouts for Patients and Staff web section offers healthcare professionals and the public approximately 250 FREE English-language handouts (many also available in translation), which we encourage website users to print out, copy, and distribute widely.
