Importance Of Immunization
A growing number of older
people are helping to save young
lives and maintain children’s
health as well as America’s
wealth.
What they’re doing is urging
their families and friends with
young children to make sure the
youngsters are properly immun
ized, reports the National Com
mittee to Preserve Social Security
and Medicare, one of the groups
and taking part in the National
Immunization Campaign.
Each year, says Martha A.
McSteen, National Committee
president,„ millions of American
children go unprotected against
pertussis, diphtheria, polio and
other deadly diseases for which
vaccines are available.
In fact, the United States has
one of the worst immunization

rates in the Western Hemisphere.
We’re behind Cuba and Colombi
a, for example. Here, one in four
children have not been fully vacci
nated against polio. Nearly half
the measles cases reported during
the measles epidemic of 1989
occurred among unvaccinated
minority children under five years
old.
What’s more every dollar spent
on immunization now saves $lO
in health care costs later. Part of
the problem is lack of health care
insurance. Not only are approxi
mately eight million children in
the United States uninsured entire
ly, tens of 'millions more have
such inadequate insurance, they
are not covered for basic preven
tive care, including immuniza
tions. Fortunately, community

health centers and public clinics
often offer vaccinations at little or
no cost.
Vaccinations need to be started
before school age. Many people
are making sure the children in
their lives are protected against:
1. Measles, mumps and rubella
with an MMR vaccine.
2. Polio.
3. Diphtheria, tetanus (lockjaw)
and pertussis (whooping cough)
with a DTP shot.
4. Haemophilus influenza type
b (meningitis and other serious
infections) with a Hib vaccine.
5. Hepatitis B (liver infections).
