Special To The Post
..Raleigh - North Carolina health
officials are urging parents to have
their children properly immunized
against diphtheria, tetanus,' and per
tussis (whooping cough), and to be
sure that the DTP vaccinations are
given on time.
Dr. J. N. MacCormack,
Epidemiology for the N.C.
ment of Hyman Resources’
of Health Services, said that
spite some recent negative
city about DTP immunization, the
vaccine is safe and effective for the
vast majority of children. DTP
vaccine has been used in the United
States since the 1940s.
in recent weeks, a growing num
ber of parents have delayed their
children’s immunizations because oi
-----
MacCormack said that pertiKSis
can cause pneumonia, convulsions,
hernias from violent coughing, and
other respiratory complications. It
can even be fatal.
statistics snow that in 1084 there
were 30 cases of pertussis reported
in North Carolina, while in 1083,
there were 34 reports. Eighty per
cent of these cases occurred in
children under one year of age, and
63 percent affected infants less than
six months. Of the 62 cases for whom
the DTP immunization status was
known, 84 percent had either not
received the vaccine at all or only
one dose of DTP; of those under one
year of age, 90 percent had not
received their DTP immunization or
only one dose of the vaccine.
une dose or less of the vaccine is
not sufficient to protect a child
against pertussis,” MacCormack
emphasised. “We recommend that
children complete three DTP doses
by six months of age even though our
, : MISJL •’ v • V.;.
immunization law allows up to one
year. It’s the responsibility of the
parents to see that their children are }
properly Immunized on time.”
North Carotyna law requires that
children be immunized against diph- fcjt '
theria, tetanus, pertussis, measles,
rubella, and polio. It applies to
school children in grades K-1J as
well as those in licensed day care
facilities.
