South Mississippi student diagnosed with mumps

There is a measeles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine that has drastically reduced mumps cases, but outbreaks can occur even after a vaccination. Outbreaks have most commonly occurred in places where people have had prolonged, close contact with a person who has mumps, such as attending the same class, playing on the same sports team or living in the same dormitory.
