Now U the time to have your children im munized against measles if they have not already received this protection, says the American Medical Association. Many parents are surprised to learn how dangerous this com mon childhood disease really is. An estimated 250 American children died from measles in 1966. More than 150 suffered measles encephalitis, sometimes called sleeping sickness, or brain fever. Encephalitis frequently leaves children with permanent disabilities, including mental re tardation, deafness, and blindness. Future tragedies can be pre vented, because safe a?d effective measles vaccines are now avail able. In the past four years, these vaccines have helped cut the measles death rate in half. It's possible that measles could be eradicated in the near future if more parents protected their children with immunization. The AMA recommends that every infant be vaccinated when | he is about one year old. All chil | dren over this age who have not been vaccinated and who have I not had measles, should t*. im Imunized now. It is especially impoitant that children in nurseries, kinder^ i g art ens, and the first two grades L of elementary school receive mea ' ties immunization. These young sters have the highest risk of If enough children are pro infection. tected by immunization, measles Measles immunization is will disappear.
