Hanley Clerk-Treasurer. - A "Immunization protects against polio, diphtheria, measles, «rubella (German'measles), whooping cough, mumps and tetanus. Although often considered to be "childhood diseases," they are anything but minor -- measles, for instance, 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. y But the responsibility for immunization -- 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 'provided 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 paying for immunization through OHIP. Protect your children against disease through immunization. This is what Ontario is doing to help you. Do your share -- make sure your children are immunized. Consult your family physician, public health nurse or local medical officer of health. A free booklet, "Immunization is your responsibility," is available with a chart showing what diseases your children should be immunized against, and at what ages.
