Health check: Diseases strike back hard as vaccines are ignored

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Ignoring a vaccine can lead to re-emergence of the disease and while vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella are recommended worldwide there have been instances of people not opting for vaccination. Often it has been found that in the first dose, immunity is 70 per cent, second dose increases immunity by another 10 per cent and after the third dose there is complete immunity.” He said there are children who are likely to suffer from the disease if their immune system is not strong. The state immunisation wing stated that mumps was not a part of the universal drive and only rubella has been included in the last one-and-a-half years in the government programme. A senior paediatrician said the earlier government programme one-and-a-half years ago had all three vaccines — measles, mumps and rubella. This is one of the reasons for the wild virus striking.” The reason for the universal immunisation schedule is to protect children from preventable diseases like polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus and other preventable diseases.
