Final answer:
Vaccine Information Statements (VIS) are required for all vaccines under the NCVIA, including those for diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, polio, and influenza.
Step-by-step explanation:
Under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA), Vaccine Information Statements (VIS) are required for all vaccines that are routinely administered to children and adults. These vaccines can prevent a wide range of infectious diseases, such as measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), polio, tuberculosis, hepatitis, pneumonia, influenza, and rabies. While some viruses like those that cause influenza need individuals to get vaccinated every year due to frequent mutations, others such as the viruses causing childhood diseases like measles, mumps, and rubella mutate so infrequently that the same vaccine formulation is used year after year. Modern or sub-unit vaccines, which include specific cell (viral or bacterial) surface antigens, help produce immunity against the agent they are designed to protect against when injected into a person.
