Measles vaccine in good supply
Bv Steve Ballev
Shots still available for at-risk students
Kansan staff writer
The recent statewide measles outbreak should not put state health agencies in danger of running out of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, health officials said yesterday.
Greg Crawford, director of public information for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said the department had an adequate supply of the MMR vaccine.
"We have enough to get us by for now, at least for the next week," Crawford said. "Each week you look forward to being in this situation is at that point in time."
Last year, the Centers for Disease Control recommended that people who had not had a second shot or had not received the shot since 1980 get a third dose of the vaccine. The recommendation had not been adopted by the state of Kansas.
"The vaccine we have been making available to health departments is only to be used for those who have been exposed to a suspected or confirmed case of measles," he said. "We don't have the vaccine or the funding to vaccinate everyone who needs a second shot."
Crawford said the MMR vaccine cost the state $14.71 per dose. The state receives the vaccine from Merck Sharp Dohme in West Point, Pa.
The department keeps 5,000 to 10,000 doses of the vaccine on hand, depending on the outbreak situation, Crawford said.
"By far, we have had to send more to Saline County than anywhere else," he said, referring to the large outbreak in the Salina area. "Other requests typically are for between 200 and 500 doses, depending on the situation."
Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said many students had become concerned by the recent measles outbreak and had wanted to receive second shots.
Yockey said the vaccine was in limited supply and needed to be saved for those students exposed to a suspected or confirmed case.
As of yesterday, Watkins had 240 doses of the vaccine on hand and had requested another 200 doses from the state.
"We do not want to encourage students to come down and get a second shot if they have not been exposed to a suspected case," he told reporters. "We worried about getting measles, we will give it to him until we run out."
Barbara Schniker, director of nurses at the Douglas County Health Department, said that the department had an adequate supply of the MMR vaccine. The department will give the vaccination only to those who have been in contact with a suspected or confirmed case of measles.
Schnitker said the department had 100 doses of the vaccine on hand yesterday and was waiting to receive another 50 doses from the state. The department has used about 100 doses since April 1.
KU med student chosen for award
By Steve Bailey
Kansan staff writer
A KU student has been chosen for the 1990 class of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute-National Institutes of Health Research Scholars Program.
Peter Redford, second year medical student at the University of Kansas Medical Center, was chosen by a 16-member committee of senior NIH scientists and Howard Hughes Medical Institute senior officers who reviewed written applications and supporting documents.
Redford, chosen from 96 applicants, will be one of 36 students representing 27 medical schools in the program. The 1990-91 class will be the sixth class enrolled since the program started, said Elizabeth Tate, spokesman for HHMI.
Students in the program perform research in an NIH laboratories of their choice for one year.
Redford, who earned his bachelor's degree in history at the University of Virginia, said he was excited about the chance to perform his own research. He said he was interested in cancer research and hoped someday to combine a career in research and clinical practice.
"In medical school, the first two years are for basic sciences, and the last two are for clinical application," Redford said. "This is the perfect break in my education to work in a research capacity."
The program offers salary and fringe benefits from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Living arrangements will be available in the Howard Hughes section of the Cloister, a residential, conference and office facility on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Md.
