Getting protection By Sophie Iremonger
It is the most important thing a parent can do for a child. That’s how Cambridge registered nurse Lyn Schofield views immunisation. Against what medical authorities say are bogus links to Alzheimer’s disease and autism, Kayla Bromwich will take her son Korben in for his 15-month vaccines next month. The vaccines will provide protection against type B influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, and pneumococcal diseases such as meningitis. The Cambridge mum has no doubts about the value of vaccines, particularly with measles in the Waikato. “I’ve been so paranoid...it’s getting very close,” the Cambridge mum said. Measles has been diagnosed in 75 patients in New Zealand this year, including a dozen in the Waikato.
