No big deal
RN Patti McManus, right, and Public Health Nurse Marguerite Thomas explain to the Grade 7
class at Brussels Public School that the Hepatitis B needle is really "not a big deal" to get. The
nurses each received an inoculation in front of the class to dispel any concerns
Gr. 7s get Hep B vaccine
In the past 10 years the number
of Hepatitis B cases has doubled
with the highest instance in young
adults.
For that reason public health
nurses have been visiting the coun
ty schools recently to inoculate
Grade 7 students against the dis
ease.
RN Patti McManus says that
though the vaccination is complete
ly voluntary, there has been close
to 100 per cent participation at each
of the schools visited to date.
Hepatitis B, which is caused by a
virus, attacks the liver. It will, Ms
McManus said, make you ill when
you catch it or can make you very
sick later in life. "One thing 1 have
learned through all my readings on
the subject are that a large number
of cancer of the liver patients are
positive for Hepatitis B."
Another aspect of the disease is
that while it doesn't always make
you sick it can be passed on with
out either person's knowledge.
Hepatitis B can also be deadly.
Hepatitis B can be caught by
contact with infected blood,
body/ear piercing or tattooing with
dirty equipment, using a dirty
hypodermic needle, living with an
infected person or having sex with
an infected person. It will not
spread through coughing,Jiugging
or sharing dishes.
Though there is no cure for Hep
atitis B, the vaccine, which is done
in a series of three shots, will pre
vent it. Unfortunately, the vaccine
is not cost-effective for some peo
ple, Ms McManus says.
Anyone who thinks they may be
at risk can get a prescription for the
vaccine at a cost of about $115,
which may not be covered by fami
ly benefits, she said. "It bothers me
that for so many this vaccine is
cost-restrictive."
Anyone interested in receiving
the vaccination for themselves or
another member of their family
should contact their physician.
