*Michigan Versions of Vaccine Information Statements - The Michigan Department of Community Health provides Michigan versions of Vaccine Information Statements (VISs). In Michigan, it is important that vaccine recipients, their parents, or their legal representatives be given the Michigan versions of VISs because they include information about the Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR). By state law in Michigan, parents must be informed about MCIR. VISs that are obtained from other sources (e.g., from CDC or IAC websites) do not contain information about MCIR. The Michigan VIS materials are in written format only.
