U.S. IMMUNIZATION NEWS
“Parents in Jackson County Rush to Immunize Children Against Pertussis” Associated Press (www.ap.org) (07/06/03)
Since early May, 11 cases of pertussis have been confirmed in Jackson County, Ore., with 50 more presumptive cases, and hundreds of parents have brought their children in for immunizations against whooping cough. County public health nurses administered 339 vaccinations during May and June, a nearly 90 percent increase over the same period in 2002. No new cases have shown up for almost two weeks, according to public health nurse Viki Barbour, and public health officials are hoping that the outbreak is waning. Public health workers have contacted over 600 people to tell them that they or their children could have been exposed.

 "A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C. Jarvis, September 28, 1820 "What's the point of vaccination if it doesn't protect you from the unvaccinated?" -- Sandy Gottstein "Who gets to decide what the greater good is and how many will be sacrificed to it?" -- Sandy Gottstein |
