"It isn't that people aren't getting their children immunized," said Gray, 'We have good compliance The doctor felt that some peopic > immunity systems just aren't as ef- ficient and leave them open to diseases even though they have been vaccinated. Gray explained that five out of every 100 people will have weaker immune systems. Gray stated that if some people can't be protected by immunization, there is not much that can be done to prevent further outbreaks of measles or any of the five other communicable diseases. The only way to determine who will be suc- ceptible would be to run antibody tests on everyone, an expensive proposition. But she said because of the ex- cellent immunization rate in Durham, any future outbreaks will be small and confined basically to the people who make up that five percent who are immune. Durham has had the best im- munization record in Ontario since 1980 according to Gray. Almost 100 percent of the regions 65,000 or so school-aged children and youths are protected against measles, mumps, rubella, diptheria, polio and tetanus. More than 99 percent of those who contacted measles this year had been vaccinated. Measles is a viral infection that can cause féver, inflamed eyes, run- ning nose and a rash. Symptoms show up 10 days after exposure to the infection. One in every 10 cases 'requires medical attention for com- plications such as middle-ear infec- tion and pneumonia.

He said that once these impres- sions are re-assembled into prints, the images of his memory are available to the viewer. "The prints not only give the viewer access to my memory, but hopefully, they become part of the viewer's memory,' said Holman. "I only hope that the viewer's world is a little richer and fuller when they have finished looking at one of my prints ... my work is to be seen ... it is pre-verbal and resides in the spirit."
