The sec- ond and third shots will he give in November and April. F 11 October, many of Halton’s E This free vaccine will be adminis- tered to students by Halton Regional Health Department nurses who will be holding clinics in each of Halton’s 74 schools that offer classes to Grade 7 students. This voluntary immunization pro- gram is part of the Ontario Ministry of Health’s long-term strategy to pre- vent and control the spread of Hepatitis B â€" a serious viral disease of the liver. Other parts of the control strategy include vaccinating individuals at high risk of exposure to the virus, as well as, newborns of women who are infected with Hepatitis B virus. The Ministry of Health of Ontario chose Grade 7 as the target group because they are easy to reach in school, are old enough to understand about the vaccine, and young enough not to be infected. Hepatitis B is spread from person to person when blood or body fluids of an infected person enters the bloodstream of someone who is not infected. Most new cases of Hepatitis B in Canada are the result of sexual con- tact with an infected person. Hepatitis B can also be spread by intravenous drug use or by contact with infected blood, resulting from something as simple as a child being involved in a schoolyard fight or helping a friend bandage an open wound. An infected woman can pass Hepatitis B to a newborn baby during More than 300 new cases of Hepatitis B are reported in Ontario each year. Experts believe the actual number of new infections is much higher. About half the people who catch Hepatitis B never feel sick and do not see a doctor so can spread the disease without knowing it. While most people recover from the infection, approximately 10% carry the virus in their bodies for life and are continuously infectious. One in 10 people die. Infection with the Hepatitis B virus can result in permanent liver damage and scarring. It is the number: one cause of liver cancer worldwide. : There is no cure of Hepatitis B. However, like other serious viral infections, such as polio and rubella - (German measles), Hepatitis B can be prevented by immunization. Hepatitis B vaccine is safe, causing only minorf reactions such as redness, warmth or ‘ swelling at the infection site. Hepatitis B vaccine does not con-- tain any human or blood products, sol cannot cause Hepatitis infection. It isf more than 90% effective in protecting individuals against the Hepatitis B virus. In September, Grade 7 students L ‘ and their parents or guardians will be; invited to request the series of three ; Hepatitis B shots required to com- plete the immunization. Evening information sessions about the - Hepatitis B Immunization Program 1 will be held for parents and guardians the week of Sept. 12th in area high 3 schools in each of Halton’ s munici- ; palities The locations and dates for ~ these will be announced through bul- letins and newsletters that will be sent home with Grade 7 students. These will also be included on the Health ; Department’s information line listed- below. ‘ Grade 7 students will receive information through classroom and assembly presentations by a Public Health Nurse from Halton Regional > Health Department starting the week of Sept 19th. ‘ Individuals who are interested in ~ obtaining Hepatitis B vaccine who ‘ are not in Grade 7, should speak with their family doctors.
