Pre-school immunization is important One of medicine's greatest contributions has been the prevention of important infectious diseases - polio, rubella measles, mumps, diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus. W hile some of these diseases are mild at times, they can be serious, even fatal. Since young children are at greatest risk, health experts have determined that immunization should take place early in life. Having your child immunized during the pre-school years is therefore very important. Some of these diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus and polio can also affect the adult. It is therefore necessary for all adults to keep their immunization up to date. This can be done by receiving a booster immunization once every 10 years against diphtheria, tetanus and polio. DIPHTHERIA is a highly contagious disease. it is spread by tiny droplets which are expelled when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The diphtheria bacterium produces a very powerful poison or toxin, attacking list the throat and nasal passages • nd then spreading throughout the body. Diphtheria can be prevented by vaccination, After the initial series of injections a booster dose, given every 10 years, is necessary to maintain a maximum level of protection. POLIO is a contagious disease. The causative agent is a virus which enters the body through the mouth. The milder non -paralytic form of polio includes symp- toms such as headache, stomachache, fever, nausea and sore throat. Occasionally the patient experiences pain and stiffness in the neck, back and legs. In its paralytic form, the polio virus attacks the central nervous system, injuring and destroying many nerve centres, causing muscle paralysis and crippling. Even today, polio is a serious disease that can affect adults as well as children. The way to prevent polio is by vaccination and receiving a booster dose every ten years.

Garnet Starr, Chatham, was a weekend visitor with Don and Mrs. Cotton, TETANUS (lock,jaw) is a non -contagious, bacterial infection which Is fatal In about half of all cases. The causative agent is present almost everywhere - soil, dust, manure and even in the digestive tracts of man and many animals. This agent invades the body through deep puncture wounds or lacerations. The most frequent symptoms are stiffness of the jaw and neck, along with headache, fever and general malaise. As the condition advances, the jaw, neck and limbs become locked. in spasm that is exaggerated by noise, light or any other stimulus. With treatment the symptoms gradually disappear In two weeks in those who recover. The best way to prevent tetanus is before an accident. This can be achieved by an initial vaccination series hollowed by a booster dose every ten years. In conjunction with the Health Fair at Seaforth High School, the Huron County Health Unit is holding an Immunization Clinic at which •booster doses against diphtheria, tetanus and polio will be offered.
