Thanks to the work of such scien-
tists as lenner in smallpox, Pasteur
in rabies and Salk with polio, we
now have, the' means' to stave off '
these and other once widespread
diseases.
The means is called immunization
and what it' involves is introducing
a disease agent' in a .harmless state
to a healthy patient. The patient'S
defence's mobilize -to deal with the
disease .— and provide immunity
against 'the real version of it.
In Canada, there's been no re-
ported case of smallpox for the paSt
, 25 years; and the thousand or so
cases of polio We used to see each
year in the 1950s have now been
whittled down to about four cases
in the last decade. ,\
Diphtheria, polio, and tetanus
all quite common at one time —
have been largely eradicated. But
without immunization, any of them
can still strike again.
; What's happened, though, is not
that anyone's found a cure for these
diseases, or that they've disappeared
forever; rather, we've simply found
a very effective mechanism for pro-
tecting each individual 'person from
getting them.
Perhaps it's the belief that the
diseases we've mentioned have
somehow been wiped out totally
that has led to some complacency
among Canadians about immuniza-
tion. For eXample,- a recent survey
of children entering school in On-
tario showed that many of them had
not been protected against prevent-
able disease's including measles
which, though generally considered
a minor aggravation, can have seri-
ouous complications.
There's really no excuse not' to
ensure that you and your, family
seek proper protection. Community7
wide immunization programs are
provided by your , local medical
officer of health. Immunization is
covered by the Ontario Health In-
surance Plan. It's also available
from your family doctor. Since
.there are now combined injections
immunizing against three or four
diseAses, it doesn't, have to turn you
into a pin cushion — or take up
much time.
The point is, unless we take ad-
vantage of the preventive measures
those scientists worked to give, us,
the diseases we thought we could
forget about might easily return.
It 'is clearly thee responsibility of
the individual and parents to keep,,
• immunization .up to date. You can
