sQfcpput Out. . . WflL a Mbadei £U. On March 1, trembling students at Plainview High were called down to the cafeteria in alphabetical order to receive the dreaded measles im- munization shots, if parents had given prior written permission. The shot was a result of an outbreak in Lubbock at Texas Tech University that spread to the Plainview Independent School District. Students receiving the shot were ones who had never been immunized or immunized before the age of 18 months. Approximately 370 to 400 shots were given by the P.I.S.D. school nurses to students, and 25 shots were given to nigh school faculty members and administrators, said high school nurse Sally Meeks. Because of Lubbock's outbreak, we were already prepared and had the serum in advance, and thank the Lord we re beyond it, said high school nurse Sally Meeks. The shot was virtually painless until the medicine was injected, then it began to sting, said senior Tracie Painter. Some high school students said they chose to go to their own personal physicians Decause they feared nurses' shots hurt worse. Even seniors were not all macho.
