What is a VIS?

A form that requests insurance information
A form that outlines patient's vital signs
A form that explains the safety and efficacy of the vaccine and adverse reactions caused by the vaccine
A medical document for surgical procedures

The correct answer is: A form that explains the safety and efficacy of the vaccine and adverse reactions caused by the vaccine

A VIS, or Vaccine Information Statement, is specifically designed to provide essential information about vaccines. It explains the safety and efficacy of a vaccine, detailing what recipients can expect when receiving it, including the benefits and potential adverse reactions. This form is an important educational tool that helps patients and guardians make informed decisions about vaccinations. The other choices do not align with the definition of a VIS. For example, a document regarding insurance information or vital signs does not pertain to vaccinations and their related information. Similarly, a medical document for surgical procedures focuses on entirely different health topics than those covered by a VIS. This distinguishes the VIS as a critical component in patient education when it comes to immunizations.
