Simi lar results were achieved in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere. With the suburban youngsters, as well as in tests in Danbury, Conn., Totowa, NJ., and other communities, close to 100-percent protection against rubella was attained. This was clearly demonstrated when a German measles epidemic erupted in New Jersey eight months after children were inoculated. At two schools, three out of five unvaccinated children came down with the malady, but those vaccinated were immune. Will the vaccine work when used during an epidemic? Last year, in the midst of a raging outbreak in Taiwan, a U.S. Public Health Service medical team inoculated more than 300 boys, using vaccines from American drug firms. More than 90 percent of these boys did not get rubella, while bs!* of the unvaccinated contracted it. To obtain Government approval, an vaccine must have been tried successfully on at least 10,000 persons. Thus far, more than 30,000 Americans have been tested with new rubella vaccines, including 18,000 with Merck’s alone. One or morelicenses should be granted any day now. Tt’s still too early to tell whether a “shot” will confer long-term immunity or need boosters. So far, children vaccinated three years ago are still protected. In somestudies with adult wom- ELECTROCUTES FLYING INSECTS RS INSTANTLY! en, however, a vaccine occasionally produced some mild arthritis-like symptoms, which soon disappeared entirely. When vaccines are approved, not only will small children be inoculated but also perhaps teen-age girls. At first, they’ll be used by pediatricians in private practice. Then, as production soars, the vaccines will go into the Governmentsponsored nationwide immunization campaign. Some doctors may vaccinate wives if they are not pregnantat the time andwill not become pregnant soon. The ultimate goal, through vaccination of the nation’s children (the “carriers”), is to wipe out German measles entirely in the U.S. Then even women who hadn’t received the vaccine themselves would be ded. At least we should be all set for next year’s rubella onslaught. Hopefully, before long, German measles—and the dread birth defects it causes—will become as uncommon as polio today. @ Family Weekly, May 4, 1969 3 NO FUMES OR SPRAY! NEVER NEEDS REFILLING!
