Zaccine Shortage Shows Signs of Easing

Brackett, District
Director.
"In the past 6-8 months

OVER THE PAST sever-

some Companies; and prob-
lems meeting FDA quality
standards.
Both public and private
providers have had to deal
with short supplies of the vac-
cines that protect against
diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis
(whooping cough), measles,
mumps, rubella, chicken pox,
and pneumococcal disease.
AS A RESULT, providers
had to defer certain doses of
each vaccine in order to pre-
serve the available supply for
those most at risk.
If the shortages had con-
tinued, the U.S. could have
faced the very real possibili-
ty of a resurgence of many
of the diseases that have
become so uncommon in the
past several years.
Fortunately, all of the vac-
cines that have been in short
supply are returning to nor-

dUeing vaccine; manufactur- infancy through age six have
been the most affected by
these shortages. Though
young children comprise the
group receiving the most vac-
cines, other populations have
been affected as well.
Students registering for
college also have vaccination
requirements, usually for a
second measles-mumps-
rubella vaccination (MMR),
or perhaps for a tetanus diph-
theria (Td) booster.
If these students were
deferred from getting these
vaccines, they too should now
be able to return to their med-
ical provider for the needed
vaccine and completed doc-
umentation.
Finally, adults in general
may have been the "victims"
of the vaccine shortage,
specifically those needing a
routine Td booster.
Although all adults should
receive a Td booster once
every 10 years, for more than
a year these routine boosters
have had to be deferred
because of limited supplies.
These people should con-
tact their providers about
returning for this all-impor-
tant booster.
