¹Vaccine Risk Statements (VRS) for DTaP, IPV, Hib, varicella, hepatitis B, and MMR.
²Disease Information Statements (DIS) for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chicken pox). The DISs present annual risks, while the disease risks in the figure above use those annual risks to derive the risk for the entire life of a 10-year-old child, as it is done in the VRSs.
