4 a - Immunization clinics do their thing ...Deating the bug ; by Ken Regan As part of a continuing joint program between government and health authorities, there are a series of public immunization clinics being held in the area during November. November has been deemed Immunization Awareness Month, and a push is on to en- Courage people of all ages to avail themselves of the opportunity to receive the vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella, (German measles). At a clinic held in High Poyntz Mall, Doris Weeks. of Midland, a nurse with the Simcoe County District Health Unit, and Anita Payne, an assistant from Perkinsfield were on hand to administer the needles to people. Diseases Mrs. Weeks said the district unit had un- dertaken an earlier immunization of the nearlv 3,000 school students in Tiny and Tay area and Elmvale, but students who missed that opportunity as well as anyone who might wish to renew their immunization against the three diseases could come to any of the clinics being held in the area this month. This week, the unit is in the Coldwater area. In a Nov. 6 speech in the House, Minister of Health, Dennis Timbrell said "Monitoring the incidence of communicable diseases ... and developing guidelines for their control are part of the critical role played by the ... Ministry's Public Health Branch."' Timbrell continued, saying, 'Through this monitoring process, it has become evident that serious increases have occurred over the past vear in the incidence of measles ... a disease that, although regarded as trivial by manv Ontarians, can lead to very serious complications." Problems At the recent Penetanguishene clinics, Mrs. Weeks also stated that measles can create serious problems, particularly for women who are in their first three months of Pregnancy. She did suggest however that pregnant women see their doctor prior to receiving a vaccination. In addition, Weeks cautioned anyone who has allergies to contact their doctor before taking the vaccine.
