Fernando Mendoaa, aadatant profeasor of padiatrica at Standford.
lUa is the first time thst we have had a vaodna availaUa for thia
serious infection, which afflicts ona out of 1,000 of aU U.S.

explaina, haa been tha leading cauaa of bacterial meningitia in young
children and can also lead to pneumonia and a variety of other more

Children, such u thoae in day care, who are ezpoaed to a lat of
other youngsters may be especially at risk, hot all paranta of diiklran
in tha two to five age group ahould aak their pecUatridan about the
vaodne," says Mendoaa.
The vaodne q>paara to offer less protection to diiUren leaa than

Tlie vaodne, may produce mild fever in aome diiklren but haa been

a gastroenteroh>giat at Standford Medkal Center.
Persons wbo repeatedly go to bed and fall asleep too soon after
eating may be aaking for oomplicationa cauaed by aacoaaa add production in the at(»nach, aaya Taykv.
To avoid the problem, Tayhy recommends that peraona eat not less
than two to three houra before going to sleep at ni^t The aama advice appliea to persons who abvady have gaatric (atomach) or
duodenal (upper inteatinal) ulcers.
Digestion is sk>wed down during sleep, along with just about
every other body functkm. 'therefore, when you eet before alaq>ing, your stomach produces add whidi woukb't normally be produced," Tiyla- expliuna.
Some of the add will wash back into the lower end of the eeophague (the gullet), if you are lying down, often producing irritatkm

about. Tell her bow mueh it hurta you that she ia so dissppointed
and that you would really like for her to try to understand you so
that ahe can share this fanportant part ot your life, if that is what
you want. It cornea as a shock to many parents to realize their
children are growing up.
Parents never want to aee their children get hurt, no matter what
their age. Your mother probably wanta to protect you from any emotional pain you might encounter by being sexually active, and has
reacted in the only way she knows to prevent that from happening.
You both need to share your feelings with one another. Don't become
strangers and let thia ruin your relationahip. Try to understand her
concerns tor you ss she shouU try to understand the decisions you
have made for yourself as s mature, responlible woman. She need
not approve ot your being sexually active now, but she can learn to
accept it and let you know she will be there if you need her.
