Despite everything this administration is doing to harm the American people I am very hopeful in seeing the efforts made by educated professionals. This is the community building I knew that the United States citizens were always capable of.

I work in healthcare, specifically patient education and my organization always goes to immunize.org to retrieve the latest and most up to date VIS.

I work in healthcare too, as an educator. One of the things we teach our new medical assistants is the law behind why we give a VIS to every patient before an immunization. It is also a part of our EHR, reminding us to not skip that step before signing off on the chart. How are we supposed to follow the law if any updated versions have been removed from the website? This is insanity.

What the actual fuck? What is the point of this? As a public health worker this is so concerning and scary.

Call Congress NOW! This is completely unacceptable to the general public along with medical professionals.

Archive.org has snapshots of all the government websites, via their Wayback Machine [a pun on the old Peabody & Sherman WABAC machine].

IIRC they drag through the Internet on a weekly basis. I also highly recommend supporting them if people can.

Fortunately, the VISs are still downloadable on the CDC webpage: under https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/current-vis.html if you click: Download all VISs [3 MB]

I work for the veterans administration and we were contacted this week and told that all pdfs on our websites had to be removed and then submitted for approval before re-posting.

Thanks you for reporting on this and sharing where they are now located. All very concerning—only making more work for HCP.
