Vaccine information statements are given to patients before immunization. Centers for disease control and prevention give the information about vaccines to patients.They make them aware of the health risks and precautions.
CDCs have made certain changes in the vaccine information statements for MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) and MMRV(Measles Mumps Rubella and Varicella) vaccines.
The final announcement about the change in Vaccine Information Sheets of MMV and MMRV vaccines has been made by the CDC. CDC is now taking comments on how there this step is going to modify the VCIs(Vaccine Information Sheets).
The previous information regarded measles, mumps and rubella them a serious disease and the amendment removes the word *serious*, as they are no more fatal with advancement in vaccination. The new MMR vaccine information includes pneumonia among the previous group of consequences of measles that were ear infections seizures, brain damage and deaths, according to U.S Newz. Seizures have been removed in the new information making it: Measles can lead to ear infections, brain damage, pneumonia, and death.
Sterility has been removed from the group of consequences of mumps in MMRV information. The potential addition is of encephalitis and death.The new information states: Mumps can lead to deafness, encephalitis or meningitis, painful swelling of testicles or ovaries and rarely death.
Similar amendments are made in other vaccine information statements.This is going to pop up many questions from people as now they are unaware of the most of the information related to vaccination because of the amendments made.
The CDCs are aimed at providing more and better information about the vaccines.The language change and statement amendment are aimed at providing more precise information about the correct time of vaccination; it's importance and various health risks. The amendments at the moment are a mere proposition, to be accepted public opinion is required. The authorities are waiting for written comments of people to give their reaction to CDC's stance.
