RY 5, 1975 TERRACE BAY NEWS PAGE 7 Protect tect your children against disease, through A This is what Ontario is doing to help you. Immunization protects against polio, diphtheria, measles, rubella (German measles), whooping cough, smallpox and tetanus. Although often considered to be "childhood diseases," they are anything but minor--measles, for in- stance, can lead to encephalitis (brain disease), a cause of retardation! Here in Ontario, the Ministry of Health provides the vaccines and your Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) pays a fee to the physician for administering them. But the responsibility for immuniza- tion --for making sure your children are protected --is still up to you. Have your children immunized by your family physician. Or, for school age children, use school immunization programs pro- vided by Health Units. Immunization is quick and convenient --vaccines against several diseases are often combined. And the only way to control these diseases is to immunize as many people as possible. Your Ontario Government is doing its share --by providing vaccines and pay- ing for immunization through OHIP. Do your share --make sure your chil- dren are immunized. Consult your family physician, public health nurse or local medical officer of health. A free booklet on immunization is available, with a chart showing what diseases your children should be im- munized against, and at what ages.
