If such a reaction were to occur, it would be ' within a few minutes to a few hours after the shot. What should I do? Call a doctor or get the person to a doctor right away.

Ask your doctor, nurse or health department to file a Vaccine Adverse Event' Reporting System form. ! 7. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. In the rare event that you or your child has a serious reaction to the vaccine, a federal program has been created to help you pay for the care of those who have been harmed. 8. How can I learn more? Ask your doctor or nurse. They can give you the vaccine package insert or suggest other sources of informa tion. Call your local or state health department's immunization pro gram. Contact Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 1-800-232-2522. The following suggestions are combined with tips from the U.S. Department of Education and Na tional Urban League to help you and your children become involved in mathematics in nature and interest ing ways. (The complexity of many of these tasks can be reduced or el evated, depending on the age of your children.) For very young children, think numerically when dressing and feed ing them. For example, point out that there are five buttons on his or her shirt, one shoe has eight holes for laces, a slice of toast has been di vided into four equal pieces, etc. Expand these counting activities to include addition and subtracting by adding or taking away various pieces. Play games that include various shapes, such as squares, circles, rect angles, hexagons, diamonds and ovals. Many children's puzzles in clude these shapes and most children love the challenge of fitting the pieces together. Play games that encourage chil dren to find numbers in the newspa per. Sort, identify and classify the items that they find, then add the number of clippings to see which pile is the largest. Take children through the house on a treasure hunt. Gather things like buttons, pencils, pens, thread, pen nies, etc. Agai n sort and classi fy them. Then use the items to build a story problems, such as "If I have three pencils, how many more do I need to make eight pencils." Help children become familiar with the denominations of money by playing with dice. The person who rolls the dice gets the number that shows up on the dice in pennies. As the pennies mount up, children can exchange their coins for nickels, dimes, etc. See who ends up with the most money after 10 minutes. Combine family genetics with mathematics by picking a common human characteristic, such as hair.

Diana DeLeon, a member of the Colorado River Indian Tribes of Parker, Arizona, has moved to Cen tral Oregon as the Public Health Educator for the Warm Springs Community Health Education Team (C.H.E.T.). Ms. DeLeon is currently commuting from Redmond. She started her new job on March 22. "My job is to educate the com munity to changing health issues here on the Warm Springs Reservation," DeLeon said. The new health edu cator comes to Warm Springs after working for her tribe as a consultant in Parker, Arizona. "I served as a Public Health Advisor, and one of my projects was to compile a five year health plan that I put together for our community. I hope it will serve as a bridge for them, into the new millennium." DeLeon is also a registered nurse and has worked in primary care for over 6 years, working in ER and ICU. "I've done pediatrics and some OB's, DeLeon commented. "Work ing in the Emergency Room has re ally prompted me to get into public health education. I've seen more of the direct hits of drinking and driv ing, substance abuse, women's health's issues, delivering premature babies in the emergency rooms when there was no prenatal care, and so on." The native of Parker, Arizona received her degree from the Uni versity Of Arizona. She participated in extension courses in Flagstaff at Northern Arizona University while working part-time in nursing and also working on a multi-cultural aids prevention project on campus. The project was a research base project through center for decease control. Diana Dcleon bring a varied background to Warm Springs. She served as the assistant fire chief on her reservation for over five years. "I was a paramedicfirefighter for five years until I felt I needed more of a challenge, so I went off to college where I pursued my nursing degree and my Masters in Public Health," Deleon said.

Help children draw a simple graph to illus trate the results. With older children, you may want to carry this project a step further and discuss genetic char acteristics and probabilities. A trip to the grocery store can provide a host of opportunities for problem-solving for all ages. Dis cuss: -The total cost of produce or fruit based on the cost per unit. -The price of 5 green onions, which cost 2 for $1. -Different prices for different brands of the same item. What are the difference in price? -A comparison of servings in cups, pints, quarts and gallons. How many ounces do you get in each? How many in a serving? -The number of servings needed for one person, two people, etc. -Containers that seem different but actually contain the same amount. -If a box of dried food provides 4 servings, how many boxes will you need to serve 1 2? Encourage older children to es timate the cost of groceries in their head. Show them how to round out prices to an even number. Then ask them to estimate how much change they will get back if they pay for the groceries with a $50 bill. Will that bill be enough? Use cards to play games that encourage children to count, add and subtract. Compare the numbers on cards. Which are higher? Which are lower? Sometimes this is easier to understand if you help them develop a graph or chart of the results. When eating pizza with your children, talk about percentages and fractions. What percentage of the pizza is one slice? Two slices? etc. If you eat three slices of the pizza, which percentage of the total pie have you eaten? What percentage of the pie is left for others? What per centage does each person get if all get an equal share? While cooking in the kitchen. SpilyayTymoo jrv, -V' I ! t -..
