Dr. Tibbies explained that rubella and measles are caused by completely different viruses and said that a measles shot will not protect against rubella, nor will a rubella immuniza tion provide immunity to meas les. "Children should be protected against both diseases," Dr. Tib bies said, "but the current pro gram is directed against rubel la, which is usually a mild dis ease in children, but causes mothers to deliver babies with serious defects when they con tract the disease during the first three months of pregnan cy." The object of the current rubella-immunization campaign is to prevent the spread of the disease among children, who commonly give the disease to pregnant women. 1964 Epidemic Oregon's last rubella epidem ic, in 1964-65, caused at least 120 mothers to ' deliver babies with defects. These include mental retardation, deafness, sight loss and serious heart de fects, and combinations of these in some babies. Rubella, which actually infects the unborn ba by,' also resulted in at least 26 stillbirths during the same period. ' '"' Regular measles often makes a child extremely ill with a high fever, deep cough, a deep red rash that lasts from seven to ten days, and can produce brain fever, ear infections and pneumonia. However, measles is not known as a cause of birth defects. Rubella, on the other hand, is accompanied by i a low fever and light rash; 1 and usually lasts only two ! to three days. Rubella complications in child ren are rare, but it is a leading cause of birth defects when contracted during early preg nancy. Dr. Tibbies pointed out that vaccine for measles has been available since 1964, and many children have received it, while rubella vaccine has been li censed just a little more than year and only a small per centage of children have been immunized against rubella dur ing that period. Long Time Immunity Since several other virus dis eases cause a rash resembling rubella, the belief that a child has had rubella usually is not reliable, so Dr. Tibbies urged that all children from 1 through 7th grade be immunized during the current immunization cam paign. One shot of the rubella vac cine is believed to confer long- term immunity, perhaps for life.
