The campaign of the ministry of health against measles and German measles was successful up the level that 387,476 persons from the age 6 to 27 were vaccinated in the first four days. However, the impression was that those appealing to get vaccinated were not ready for the process. We have drawn such conclusions from great number of complaints by parents who called our editotiral office.

One of the parents said that her 17-year-old daughter informed the doctos that she felt sick and asked if she may be vaccinated. The doctor answered that only persons with sexual diseases and pregnant women are not allowed to get the vaccination. The 17-year-old girl was not given any other advice. She has been attending her classes with symptoms of measles for 4-5 days now.

''They should also give advice, inform about possible consequances or set children free from classes while making appeals to get the vaccination'' troubled parents said.

One of them asked if taking medication is prohibited after the vaccination. We just remind that such questions must have been answered by doctors.
