safe vaccines, kids don't get shot Safe and effective vaccines are available for polio, measles, whooping cough and a number of other poten- t i a l ly dangerous childhood diseases, but - as schools reopen each fall there continue to be a number of children ? who are not immunized. Last year, for in­ stance, there were 1,784 _ r epor ted cases of ; whooping cough nation* ; wide despite an effec­ tive vaccine. n u Experts at the U.S. ; Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Ga., - theorize that parents have been discouraged f rom hav ing the i r children immunized by distrust of medical authority and fears of osslble side effects, lut, the occurrence of such Side effects is ex­ tremely rare and the risks, when compared with the effects of the diseases themselves, is great. As an aid to parents with school children, here is a list of vaccine recommendations from the Food and Drug Ad­ ministration: MEASLES - AH children who have not had measles or who have never been vac­ cinated for it should be immunized, preferably before they start school. Measles can lead to serious complications such as brain damage or mental retardation. The U.S. Public Health Ser­ vice recommends vac­ cination at 15 months (children who have been vaccinated before 12 months should be revac- cinated at this age). About 15 percent of children receiving the vaccine will develop a fever for a few days. POLIO -- All children should be immunized against polio. The Sabin vaccine is preferred by health authorities since it can be taken orally. The usual regimen is three doses given at 6 to 8 weeks old, and a sup­ plementary dose when the child enters school. RUBELLA (German Measles) -- Rubella is generally a mild disease in children, but if a woman gets it early In pregnancy it can affect the fetus, resulting in serious birth defects. some Paperback picks By United Press International Old Houses Into New, by Margie K. Cohen (Prentice Hall, $5.95) Got energy and some money to invest? Then consider rehabbing for profit. Margie K. Cohen did, and the results are some of the more impressive apartment houses in Near North Chicago. In "Old Houses Into New," Cohen recounts how she took tired buildings in the Windy City -- some of them bordering on derelict -- and transformed them into classy digs. Along the way, she gives ad­ vice on Uie obstacles an aspiring rehabber might encounter, from how to choose the right building to financing its transformation and managing the rental units that result. This is good advice from a real pro. (UPI) * Stars of the Broadway Stage 1940-1967, photographs by Fred Fehl (Dover paperback, 18.95) Viennese-born Fred Fehl, who came to this country in 1939, was the first person to make a living photographing the performing arts, and still is one of the few who prefer to shoot during performance. This collection of 241 black-and-white photos is his own personal selection from 4he thousands he took before 1970, when he turned his leal 35 mm photos is admittedly not good, but they have more than ordinary historical interest. They include James Dean with Arthur Kennedy in the 1952 production of "See the Jaguar"; Marlon Brando in "I Remember Mama," 1944; a young Richard Thomas in 1965's "The Playroom"; Robert Ryan in "Coriolanus" in 1954. All the stars are here, from Ethel Barrymore to Henry and Jane Fonda, Mary Martin, Ethel Merman, John Garfield and Julie Harris. (UPI) The, Movie Quote Book, by Harry Haun (Harper Colophon Books, 19.95) Like the hard- coyer olriginal, the trade paperback edition of this book by an entertainment writer for New York's Daily News provides some 4,000 easy- to-locate quotes from more than 500 memorable movies, each supplied with a con­ cise note on its context. So "The Movie Quote Book" is useful for reference but also is fun to read. The "Last Lines" section for instance, reminds that William Wyler's "The Heiress" ended with Montgomery Clift shouting "Catherine!" 11 times (to no avail) at the lock­ ed front door of ex-fiancee Olivia De Havilland's Washington Square house. And that Peter Bogdanovich's "What's Up Doc?" concluded with Mel Blanc's immortal words, "Th - that's all, folks!"

A combination measles- rubella or measles- mumps-rubella vaccine can be given at 15 mon­ ths. The vaccine may cause side effects, such as rash, swollen glands, fever and Joint pain, but such side effects occur more often in women than in children. D I P H T H E R I A , TETANUS, PER­ TUSSIS (DTP) - A combination prepara­ tion of diphtheria and tetanus toxoid and per­ tussis (whooping cough) vaccine (DTP) has been routinely used to im­ munize infants for about 35 years. It has led to a significant decrease in these diseases during that time. Children under seven should be given DTP in­ jections in four doses - at six weeks, four mon­ ths and six months, with a reinforcing dose one year after the first in­ jection. A booster shot is given at four to six years of age, prior to school en- try. Because pertussis (whooping cough) is less severe and occurs less frequently as peo­ ple grow older, children over seven need only diphtheria and tetanus boosters every 10 years. MUMPS - Mumps occurs mostly In young school-age children. Although it seldom results in serious com­ plications, it can cause painfully swollen glands in the face and neck, fever, headache and earache. Vaccination is recommended for all children over 12 months and for adolescents and adults wo have not had mumps. The vaccines may be given as a m e a U e s - m u m p s - rubella vaccine at 15 months. One shot pro­ v ides long- las t ing , possibly lifetime im­ munity. Side effects are rare but can Include swollen glands and a mild rash.
