C21 THE DAILY TIMES Salisbury, Md. June 13, 1982 I voiding Vaccine Can Be Dangerous DEAR ABBY: Thousands of parents are frightened and confused because of recent TV publicity emphasizing some extreme side. effects of pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine. Many are asking if they should avoid having their children immunized. "That would be unwise," eCays the American Public Health Association.

Whooping cough can cause brain damage or permanent disabilities, and death! Forty years ago the United States averaged 265,000 whooping cough cases with about 7,000 deaths per year. Tranks, immunizations, to routine we now average only 3,000 cases annually with five to 20 deaths. True, in rare cases vaccines can cause some of the. same the diseases tamagseek to prevent. Pertussis vaccine commonly produces irritability, drowsiness or fever in about four out of 10 children.

One in 300 might develop high fever. One in 7,000 might have a seizure. One in about 100,000 might suffer permanent nerve or brain damage. But the benefits still vastly outweigh the risks. In Great Britain, sensational publicity about vaccine side effects has caused the immunization rate to drop from 80 percent to about 40 percent.

Now the British are again suffering whooping cough epidemics 100,000 cases in the last three years, with 6,000 hospitalizations and 60 deaths. Equivalent contagion rates in the United PRESIDENTS.

The American Public Health Association strongly urges all parents to continue whooping cough immunization for their children. After each shot the Dear Abby By: Aligal Van, child should be carefully watched. If side effects appear, the family physician or clinic should be consulted so consideration can be given to discontinuing the vaccine series and to not vaccinating younger children in the same family.

STANLEY J. MATEK. AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine told me that in Denmark, the girls don't have to worry if they've lost their virginity because they do an operation over there that virgins out of non-virgins. This friend told me that there is no way for a man to know for sure if the girl is a true virgin or not because this operation is so perfect. Is this true?
