10 Diseases Need
Vaccinations

JILL DAVIDSON SKIM

STAFF WRITER

The American Academy of Pe-
diatrics recommends that chil-
dren under the age of 2 receive
a total of six vaccinations to pro-
tect against the following 10 ill-
nesses:
Pertussis, also known as
whooping cough, is character-
ized by coughing and choking
which makes drinking, eating
and, at times, breathing, diffi-
cult. It Is easily passed from per-
son to person and can last for
weeks.
One percent of children un-
der age 1 who contract the ill-
ness either die or suffer
permanent brain injury.
Polio, which is largely erad-
icated in the Western world
due to the vaccine, can leave
victims unable to breathe with-
out the aid of a machine.
Measles causes high fever,
cough, runny nose, sore eyes and
a rash for up to two weeks. Most
serious complications include in-
fection of the brain, hearing low>,
mental retardation and death.
Mumps lasts for several
days and is marked by fever,
headache, swollen and painful
glands under the jaw, a mild
swelling of the coverings of the
brain and spinal cord and hear-
ing loss.
Rubella is perhaps most se-
rious for pregnant women and
their unborn children. Symp-
toms of rubella include fever,
swollen glands, a rash lasting
for three days and soreness of
the joints; the effects on the fe-
tus are greater and include
heart disease, blindness, deaf-
ness or learning problems.
Haemophilus Influenzae
Type B (BIB) can be spread
through coughing or sneezing
or close contact. Those afflicted
with it can suffer from swelling
of brain that can affect sight,
hearing or speech, or lead to
mental retardation.
Hepatitis B affects the liv-
er, potentially leading to liver
failure, scarring of the liver, liv-
er cancer or death.
Tetanus can be transmitted
through a cut or wound to the
body. Also called lock j aw, it ren-
ders a person unable to open his
mouth or swallow, in addition
to causing muscle spasms. It
kills 30 percent of those who
contract it.
Diphtheria can render a
person unable to breathe or
move.
Chickenpox, one of the
most common of childhood ill-
nesses, is marked by a rash of
blisters that spreads across the
body in about three to four
days. 0
