What’s the
fuss about
 Measles?




      www.fridayschildmontessori.com
To a certain extent, measles in
 childhood in the developed world
isn’t that traumatic: a child gets a
fever and a rash all over the body
       for about a week or so.
However, this is what happens for the
          lucky majority.
The trouble with measles is that
they can lead to complications.
Mild complications include ear
    infections, pneumonia and
diarrhoea, which put a further toll
   on an already stressed little
         immune system.
Severe complications include
inflammation and swelling of
the brain and, in some cases,
  death. To be utterly blunt,
   autism isn’t likely to kill
  anybody but measles can.
There was another twist to the
    scare about the measles
    vaccine and autism: the
    scientist who had his paper
  published in the Lancet making
the claim about the link turned out

       to be rather shonky.
Six years after the original article
 was published, another scientist
found that the original author had
  manipulated evidence and had
  heaps of undeclared conflicts of
              interest.
In plain language: lies and
 cover-ups. The findings of that
  original paper were completely
 debunked and retracted by 2010
and the doctor who published the
paper was struck from the register
     for scientific misconduct.
But the damage had been done and
  a number of concerned parents
 around the world had chosen not
  to vaccinate their children, with
    the end result that outbreaks
               spiked.
In many ways, we don’t know how
  lucky we are – just ask anyone
 from overseas where they don’t
have such an intensive vaccination
          programme.
People from these countries may
   still be at risk, especially the
children. And immigrants can still
  bring the virus into the country
    with them unintentionally.
So don’t get blasé and assume that
   you don’t have to have your
   children vaccinated against
 measles: outbreaks still happen,
and we get a lot of people coming
  to the lovely Gold Coast from
             overseas.
Remember: vaccination just means
that your immune system can fight
 off and resist the virus, and it can
  still be passed on by people who
           are immune to it.
How are measles spread?
Pretty much in the same way that
  most viral infections are spread,
like coughs and colds, which is via
  coughs, sneezes and unwashed
  hands transferring the virus off
    and onto surfaces and toys.
Although we’re not concerned
  about measles in particular at
Friday’s Child, we still stress that
good hygiene is an important part
of self-care and is very important
   as part of our Montessori
          curriculum.
Coughs and sneezes need to be
covered, preferably with the crook
 of the elbow rather than with the
           hands or with a
       tissue/handkerchief.
Hands should be washed before
  eating (and after going to the
toilet, but the toilet has less to do
with spreading measles and more
 to do with spreading bacteria).
Children shouldn’t share drink
bottles, cups or food, as minute
smears of saliva can and do pass
          viruses along.
We believe that children should be
encouraged to share, but there are
  some things that shouldn’t be
             shared.
