We geared up for  Chicken pox vaccine under study Atlanta up Federal health officials Are considering the merits of a new Chicken pox vaccine that could prevent millions of cases of the disease yearly but some children who need it most those with leukaemia Are having reactions to the new treatment. The vaccine is expected to be licensed by the Federal food and drug administration this year despite reports of severe reactions in in Kemic children. Officials say they Are moving cautiously. It seems unlikely that it will be licensed within the next few months said Alan Hinman director of the immunization division for the National centers for disease control. It s a vaccine which has some potential. At this Point we can t say How that potential will be realized Hinman said. In anticipation of Fra approval the cd advisory committee on immunization practices has begun formulating recommendations on dosages and who should receive the vaccine. Chicken pox strikes about 3.5 million american Chil Dren annually. The committee at a meeting last week was informed that clinical tests of the vaccine have shown it to be 97 percent effective in preventing Chicken pox in children and Only slightly less effective in adolescents and adults. The highly contagious disease is caused by the Varicella zoster virus and is characterized by a skin rash and red eruptions. It is the last common infectious disease of child Hood for which no vaccine is available. Although normally a mild disease Chicken pox is some times the forerunner of More serious illnesses such a pneumonia and Reye s syndrome. Chicken pox also can be life threatening in children whose immune systems Are weak such As those with leu Kemia and other cancers. The Side effects of the vaccine in in Kemic children May delay its approval until later in the year. At the cd me ing. Physicians were shown a photograph of a leukemic child immunized with the Chicken pox vaccine. Rashes covered most of his body. Or. Saul Krugman professor of paediatrics at new Yor University medical Center who played a leading role in developing the hepatitis vaccine urged the committee not to delay a recommendation for too Long. Krugman said officials studying the Side effects also should review the reactions produced by the measles and rubella vaccines when they were licensed in the 1960s. The Side effects of the Chicken pox vaccine do no appear As severe he said. Small plane crashes in Virginia at Airport 3 killed 2 injured Lynchburg a.
