mothers. The vaccine will be administered to children 12 months through 12 years. Even children thought to have had rubella should still receive the vaccine because many rashes caused by different diseases look like rubella. Rubella is a different disease than regular measles, 7 to 9 day, so the measles vaccine given previously will not protect against rubella.
The vaccine will not be given to children with high fever on the day of the program or children who are being treated for cancer, lukemia, or other severe illness. Children who are allergic to neomycin, duck or chicken eggs or feathers may not be given the vaccine. If a child is under a doctor’s care at the time of the clinic, consult him beforehand.
Because the vaccine is expensive, the health department is asking that those receiving the vaccine who can afford a nominal donation to help defray the cost.
A registration form is reproduced on page 12 to assist in the administration of the vaccine.
