Chickenpox outbreak investigated at Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau

Associated Press

GALESVILLE, Wis. - Health officials are looking into an outbreak of

chickenpox in the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau School District in which all

except two of the 44 affected children had been vaccinated against the

illness.

Dan Hopfensperger, director of the Wisconsin Immunization Program, said the

outbreak is the largest among vaccinated children he can recall in the

state.

The outbreak began in mid-November at the Kindernook Learning Center, where

36 of 99 kindergartners developed chickenpox.

The Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services said it is trying to

determine why so many vaccinated students developed the illness, when health

experts rate the vaccine as from 85 percent to 97 percent effective.

" We're way above the 15 percent, " Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau school nurse

Barbara Hogden said.

Hogden said the vaccine is fragile and must be stored frozen. But she said

the infected students obtained vaccinations from a number of different

providers, and no manufacturer has reported a bad batch of vaccine.

Only one of the district's chickenpox cases cannot be traced back to the

kindergarten building, Hogden said, and that student was not vaccinated.
