Measles Outbreaks Prompt Stepped-Up Immunization RALEIGH - An outbreak of red measles in Cumberland County and unconfirmed cases of an illness presenting similar symptoms in Richmond and Onslow Counties have prompted state immunization officials to step up efforts to investigate all rash-like disorders. "Obviously, the flu program sapped some of our capability from on-going immunization clinics," observed Frank Lewis, head of the state's immunization program. "We do not think, however, that intense efforts applied on the program left the state vulnerable to epidemics of childhood diseases. "We attribute recently reported cases of measles to a lack of attention on the part of parents in maintaining a proper schedule of immunization," Lewis asserted. "This is the way it has been since vaccine became available for childhood diseases." Based on a 1974 immunization survey of two-year olds in North Carolina, 67 per cent had completed all immunizations; 83 per cent were protected against diptheria, whooping cough and tetanus; 78 per cent for measles and 74 per cent for rubella. Lewis said this compares favorably with other southeastern "* states. He revealed that another statewide survey will begin in February. It will show any significant changes in immunization levels.

The office will be open as usual next Thursday, Jan. 27. state's day care centers showed 75 per cent were unprotected against mumps. "It's just that we can not afford mumps vaccine in public health clinics because of the high cost," Lewis complained. "In 1976 we had 386 cases of mumps reported. Since it has been a reportable disease only since 1975, it's hard to say whether a lack of protection is causing an increase." The total schedule of immunizations for pre-school children as required by state law is as follows: DPT ? polio at 2,4 and 6-months of age. Measles, rubella and mumps at 15-months. DPT - polio booster at 18-months. Last DPT ? polio booster between 4 and 6 years of age or when the child starts kindergarten or public school. Lewis said kindergarten and first graders will start registering in another eight to 10 weeks and suggested that parents avoid a hassle from school principals and get the necessary shots. "Principals do a good job of enforcing state immunization laws," Lewis noted. "This is borne out by the fact that 95 per cent of the children who started to school in September of 1976 met requirements."
