Health Department warns of consequences of not vaccinating Landstad: Childhood immunizations protect children, the public BY MELONIE ROBERTS
A
reporter@monett-times.com
lthough the safety of childhood immunizations has been touted by health officials for years, there are some local families who make the deliberate decision not to have their children vaccinated, or to have them vaccinated off-schedule, according to Carol Landstad, public health programs coordinator at the Barry County Health Department in Cassville. LANDSTAD “They express concerns about the safety of the vaccinations,” Landstad said. “Some don’t vaccinate on schedule due to time constraints and scheduling issues. Some parents just don’t like to see their baby cry.” For whatever reason, those people are putting other at risk. “There is no proven link to autism. Those claims have been investigated and dispelled. The Center for Disease Control continues to monitor approved vaccinations for safety reasons.” Vaccinations are important in that they not only protect children from the discomfort of being sick, or suffering worse consequences, they also protect other members of the public, including infants too young to receive vaccinations, and adults whose immune systems are compromised. “There are those, children and adults alike, who have cancer and their immune systems are suppressed,” Landstad said. “They risk getting one of these viruses and suffering some serious potential consequences, even death. “Newborns are very vulnerable to any disease. Their immune systems are not built up yet.”

Young children are more at risk for becoming very ill or disabled from some diseases like polio, or brain damage, which carry lifelong consequences. Smallpox has been eradicated worldwide, while others, like polio, have been nearly eradicated. Diphtheria and whooping cough are making a bit of a comeback. “Many communicable diseases are spread during the incubation period, before the carrier even exhibits signs of fever or illness,” Landstad said. “This is the age of travel. People travel for pleasure, business, internationally, cruises and mission trips. Some of the places people travel to are areas where these diseases are more prevalent.” Upon their return to their communities, these travelers import a host of potential viruses to their homes, family members, schools, work and places of business. “We forget, especially in rural areas where we believe we are isolated from these things, people can carry these viruses and be contagious days before any signs of illness appears,” Landstad said. For the germaphobes, Landstad said a dollop of anti-bacterial hand wash

won’t kill these viruses. “These are airborne,” she said. “When a person coughs, the droplets are carried through the air to the next person, or to the surface of a table or other furniture, where it can live for some time outside of its host.” Some of the more serious diseases and their effects are listed. Measles: fever, rash, cough. Can cause ear infections, pneumonia, convulsions, encephalitis or death. Mumps: fever, headache, swollen cheeks and jaw, swollen glands. Can cause painful swelling of testicles or ovaries, encephalitis, meningitis or deafness. Rubella: fever, rash or swollen glands. Can cause miscarriage or birth defects. Diptheria: sore throat, fever, chills. Can cause difficulty in breathing, paralysis, heart failure or death. Tetanus: headache, fever, irritability or stiff muscles. Can cause difficulty in swallowing and breathing, severe muscle spasms or death. Whooping cough: severe coughing followed by a “whooping” sound. Can cause pneumonia, difficulty breathing, convulsions, brain damage or death.
Meningococcal disease/Hib: fever fatigue, vomiting or stiff neck. Can cause: Meningitis, brain damage, pneumonia, throat infection or death. Polio: fever, headache, stomach ache or stiff muscles. Can cause paralysis, difficulty breathing or death. Hepatitis A and B: fatigue, loss of appetite, fever, vomiting, yellow skin or eyes or dark urine. Can cause chronic fatigue, death, liver disease or liver cancer. Chicken pox: fever, fatigue or rash. Can cause skin infections, pneumonia, encephalitis, Reye’s syndrome or death. Pneumococcal disease: fever, chills, ear pain, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, stiff neck, headache, nausea or vomiting. Can cause pneumonia, meningitis, blood and ear infections or death. Influenza: headache, body aches, fever, fatigue, sore throat, dry cough or stuffy nose. Can cause pneumonia, ear infections, croup, Reye’s syndrome or death. Rotavirus: diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain or fever. Can cause dehydration and death. CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Some plays seem forever relevant and funny. Molière’s classic play “Tartuffe” will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday at Missouri State University’s Coger Theatre. An outrageous character who poses as a houseguest ingratiates himself into a family to fleece them, only to fall into a trap set by the family to outwit him. This battle of wits and good vs. evil continues to delight audiences. The Coger Theatre is a mid-sized facility with a pleasing atmosphere.
For some of the classiest entertainment available, the Tulsa Ballet ranks high. The company’s highly entertaining take on Dumas’ “The Three Musketeers,” complete with swords and very ornate costumes, is offered at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday in the Chapman Music Hall at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, 110 S. Second St. The production was premiered by the Australian Ballet and has been hailed by the New York Times as “a rollicking fast-paced production.”

Vaccinating: Children who are not immunized can be excluded from school
HPV: warts in genital area or abnormal PAP results. Can cause genital cancer or death. Some anti-vaxxers have spread theories on the Internet that vaccines can cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or their children might have severe side effects, including links to autism. “Science-based research does not support those claims,” Landstad said. “Researchers continue to improve vaccines all the time, and develop vaccinations for illnesses that didn’t exist 30 years ago. For example, vaccinations for HPV and meningitis are fairly new. The reason we urge parents to vaccinate their children is not only to to protect that child, but those who, due to age or physical impairments, are not able to receive vaccinations, especially infants not yet old enough to receive them.” Landstad said elderly residents with compromised immune systems are also at risk of devel-
There is nothing worse than having an itch you can’t scratch, and keeping a toddler from scratching at the hot, itchy rash caused by measles is nearly impossible.

Adverse Event Reporting System,” Landstad said. “All health care providers are required to file a report in the event a patient suffers a serious reaction to a vaccine.” Those who fall in the small portion of the population that suffers from a vaccine-related injury, can receive
financial support from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Landstad said those who choose not to vaccinate their children can claim an exemption through religious or for medical reasons should be aware of the consequences of those actions. “Unimmunized children can be excluded from child care or school during outbreaks in the community,” she said. “That can create a hardship on both the parent and the child. These diseases are entirely preventable through immunizations. “While not everybody is not 100 percent protected, because everyone’s immune system reacts differently, these shots are 90 percent or more effective.” For more information on vaccinations, visit www.immunize.org or www.cdc.gov/vaccines/.

Men and women sacrifice in service to their country for many reasons. Secrecy in government is not one of them. State law requires government entities at all levels, from water districts to city councils and school boards, to place notices of many of their activities in a legal newspaper. This is a legal newspaper. A printed notice in this newspaper can’t be hacked into like a website. It’s permanent. The date in the corner proves it was printed when required. It can be trusted without question in these times when trust in government is so low. Would a similar notice posted somewhere on the internet provide the same measure of transparency? The answer to that is obvious. No, it would not.

Short-cut cooking is source of guilt for busy new wife
D
EAR ABBY: I am a full-time working woman, part-time student and new wife to an incredible husband. We’re in our mid-20s and have been living together for a year, but I have a problem that I’m still unsure about. Growing up I never learned to cook. The first meal I ever made was spaghetti when my husband (then fiance) and I moved into our home. My issue is, I HATE cooking. I don’t have the patience for it and neither does my husband. Should I be ashamed that I indulge in “box” dinners that take little time to prepare? Naturally, I cook meat and vegetables to go along with them, but is it shameful when a wife doesn’t cook everything from scratch? My husband doesn’t mind, but I worry. Shouldn’t a wife cook real meals for her husband?—NEW WIFE IN NORTH CAROLINA
DEAR NEW WIFE: Because many couples both work, many husbands and wives take turns cooking or prepare dinner together. (“Honey, I’ll do the salad and vegetables; you fix the chicken/fish/chops on the grill.”) The problem with prepackaged meals is that many of them contain more sodium and/or other additives
JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY that nutritionists say are bad for one’s health when consumed on a regular basis, so I think you do have cause for concern. The most important ingredient in a lasting marriage is a partner who lasts, so if you want yours to last, be vigilant about what you put in your stomachs. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 29-year-old woman and I have been with my fiance, “Gary,” for three years. We became engaged six months ago. When I brought up wedding ideas recently, Gary responded with, “There are things that have to be resolved before I can even think about getting married.” In the discussion that followed, he said I need to get a better-paying job so I can contribute to the renovations on the house, buy my own personal items and have a shorter commute. I’m hurt because I believe marriage is about committing to the person you love. I also realize you can’t
live on love alone. Am I overly sensitive about this? Is Gary’s request reasonable, or do you think he’s just looking for an excuse not to get married?—LOVE ABOVE ALL IN NEW YORK DEAR LOVE ABOVE ALL: Pay attention to what your fiance said because it appears he has unilaterally mapped out your future for you. This sounds less like a request to me than a demand. Open your eyes and keep talking with him. Did he specify whether your name will be on the deed to the house you will contribute to renovating? (I hope so.) I also hope you will be lucky enough to find a higher-paying job with a shorter commute,
because not everyone is able to do that. Because I believe in both love and practicality, I think it’s important you and Gary have premarital counseling together to clarify whether you’re on the same page regarding finances.
