This file stores Vaccine Information Statements (VISs). These are
information sheets produced by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) that explain both the benefits and risks of a vaccine
to vaccine recipients.
Federal law requires that healthcare staff provide a VIS to a patient,
parent, or legal representative before each dose of certain
vaccinations.
Standardization (DS). The file definition (i.e. data dictionary) shall
not be modified. All additions, changes and deletions to entries in the
file shall be done by Enterprise Reference Terminology (ERT) using the
Master File Server (MFS), provided by the Common Services (CS). Creating
and/or editing locally defined fields in the file are not permitted. Use
of locally defined fields that were created prior to the VHA Directive
shall not be supported.
