Measles-Rubella Outbreaks v 41 Bring Immunization Warning PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, MAY 9. 1975 Ornithologist: 'Leave Birds Where Found" State public health officials have warned that children and young people of high school and college age who have not been fully immunized against measles and rubella (three- day, or German measles), should see a physician or local health department im­ mediately to obtain the necessary immunizations. Dr. Joyce Lashof, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, said the warning was issued in the wake of several outbreaks of both diseases which have occurred in various parts of the state since the beginning of the year. "The majority of cases," she said, "have occurred in persons over 12 years of age, and at least two outbreaks have oc­ curred on college campuses." The most recent measles outbreak is now occurring in Williamson county, where more than thirty cases have been reported, and at least three required hospitalization. Dr. Lashof pointed out that measles is not the harmless childhood disease it was once believed to be. "Each year, Illinois children are left with vision, hearing or mental deficiencies as a result of measles," she said "This is even more tragic when you consider that children todav needn't have measles. We have a vaccine to prevent it." The outbreaks of rubella are of serious concern due to the possibility of resultant birth defects if the disease is con­ tracted by a woman during the first twelve weeks ' of, pregnancy. Although rubella is normally a very mild disease for the person who has it, it can cause blindness, deafness or mental retardation in a baby whose mother contracts the disease in the early stages of pregnancy. "That's the reason we are so seriously concerned about the outbreaks of rubella," Dr. Lashof said, "especially those which have occurred in the high school and college age population " Dr. Lashof recommended that all children between the ages of one year and ten years receive rubella immunizatio: in order to halt the spread of the disease to pregnant women. She further recommended that females over the age of 12 who have not received rubella immunization either see a physician or contact their local health department for advice. "The last major rubella epidemic, which occurred in 1964. resulted in the births of 20,(MM) babies in the U.S. with rubella related birth defects," Dr. Lashof said, "and we certainly want to do everything within our power to avoid a repetition of that tragedy." Dr. Lashof also recom­ mended measles vaccination or re-vaccination for: a) anyone who received measles im­ munization prior to 1966 and has not contracted the disease; and b) anyone who has never been immunized against measles and has not contracted the disease. "The killed virus measles vaccine used between 1962 and 1966," she explained, "does not always provide complete immunity, so it would be a good idea to be re- vaccinated if you received measles vaccine prior to 1966." Those who have suffered a case of measles do not require vaccination as they have a natural immunity to the disease.

Graber Every year the young birds begin to appear at the same time that many people start getting out in the woods and meadows to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. When this coincidence of out-comings-the young birds from their nests and the people from their houses-occurs, some people, with the best of intentions, pick up young birds that they find and bring them home, hoping to "save" them. As Dr. Graber points out, if it is one of the 175 or so native (nesting) species Of Illinois, it is illegal even to take the bird. Secondly, taking the bird home is one of the worst things you can do to it. The care of newly fledged birds is a special skill best left to those experts who really know how-the parent birds. Even if you know how to care for the young bird, it is an extremely time consuming process, as the young bird should receive a lot of live insect food, and should be fed at least once an hour, so a foster parent (like the real,parent) will spend hours every day either looking for food, or feeding the young bird. And while the young bird is in the care of humans it probably loses some of its ability to survive in the wild. Birds coming of the nests now or in the next few days include species of owls and hawks, woodcocks, some mourning doves, and cardinals, with a host of song birds appearing <a little later. The nesting season lasts into September. Contrary to what one thinks, Dr Graber says, "birds almost never abandon their young, and the young have the best help thatv nature can provide--the help and care of their own parents."
