North Dakota passes vaccine law.

This is a case of government doing something right. As of the 1st of 2008 they have required students entering school to have a second dose of the chickenpox vaccination. This is a positive move and should help eliminate outbreaks of chickenpox in the school system.

Here is more information from the local news channel.

As of the first of the year, children in daycare are required to be immunized against Hepatitis A, Rotavirus, and Pnuemococcal disease.

Beginning next school year, students entering kindergarten must get a second dose of the chickenpox vaccine. Middle school students will need to be immunized against meningococcal disease, as well as tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis.

The changes are in addition to previously required immunizations, and experts say they`re a good way to keep kids, and their parents healthy.

“Immunizations are important because they not only prevent yourself from getting diseases, or your children, but also from the people around you, so it`s important to keep our kids healthy,” says Molly Sander, Immunization Program Manager.
