Vaccine to be
offered to
graduating
girls
BY SHIRLEY J. KEL'LER
Rubella Titre tests are
encouraged in Huron County
for all Grade 12 and 13 female
students, Huron County
Council learned on Friday at
the regular March session.
This test determines whether
or not any young woman has
immunity to German
measles, the disease which if
contracted during the early
days of pregnancy can cause
serious defects in the unborn
child.
Young women who are
found to have no immunity to
the disease cn rbevaccinated
to prevent disaster from
German measles during any
pregnancies. Now, after a
decision of. Huron County
Council,' the ,vaccine will be
made available to all female
students in their graduating
year with the cost to be paid
by the Huron County Health
Unit.
Board of health chairman,
Deputy -reeve Paul Steckle of
Stanley Township, told
council the vaccine is ex-
pensive- ten doses for $25. As
well, thevaccine does not
have a long shelf life, and is
not one that physicians
normally stock.
"It is therefore in-
convenient and rather ex-
pensive for a student found to
require the v-accine," said
Steckle, who .urged the
vaccine be made available by
the county.
About 40-50 students may
require the vaccine in Huron
County per year. The annual
cost of about $125' to the
County is not subsidizable by
the province.
