Sec. 7: ADDENDUM
1) SAMPLE PACKAGE INSERT REVISION – MMR VACCINE:

2) SAMPLE VIS CHANGE FOR POLIO VACCINE
– INSERT PARAGRAPH – INFORMED CONSENT-
Informed Consent
Is there anything else I should know?
Informed Consent Doctrine requires that health care professionals provide patients with all relevant information about a proposed procedure including: the nature of the procedure, the risks, the benefits and the availability of alternative treatment, (including no treatment) and the risks and benefits thereof.
Informed consent protects the patient by providing him/her with complete information on which to make an informed decision.
Because some patients may have religious or moral concerns about abortion, you are entitled to know that some[ polio] vaccines are propagated on cell lines obtained from electively aborted fetuses. Those vaccines contain residual DNA, cell components and proteins from the aborted fetal cell line.
There are also other versions of [IPV] available in the US using non-human cell lines. Ask your doctor for more information on these alternatives. See Section 1 for more information on the disease.
