The recommendation for additional doses was initially made in Nov. 2017, with a focus on those who were most at risk for acquiring the infection, like the young, elderly and those with weakened immune systems. The outbreak continued, so DHSS expanded its recommendation the next month to include everyone in Anchorage. In Feb. 2018, all Alaska residents who wanted added protection during the outbreak were advised to get another MMR. https://ift.tt/2zWhXs2

I had spent New Year’s Eve with a large group of friends, and many of us stayed at an apartment together in downtown Chicago that night. Panicked, and not wanting to be in such close proximity to those with whom I was supposed to ride back to Missouri, I walked to the nearest Walgreens and bought gloves, disinfectant wipes and the most important item we had learned from the Mizzou outbreak – a mask. I called my parents, and, through their help, was able to buy an Amtrak ticket for that morning. In a cab rushing to Chicago Union Station, I was certain to wipe down anything I might have touched, and then got on the train wearing my mask. Back in St. Louis, I got in my car and prepared to drive back to Columbia to see a doctor, but the pain was unbearable. It was so swollen that I had trouble moving my neck without pain. I stopped at an urgent care in the area, where aft

Multiple cases of mumps have been reported at campuses in South Carolina and the Chicago area. Health officials are warning both students and visitors about their possible risk of exposure. According to reports, Lewis University, Columbia College, Clemson University, Tri-County Technical College, and Loyola University are among the campuses that are affected. The viral infection is characterized by swollen salivary glands, which may cause the infected person to develop puffy cheeks and a swollen jaw. Apart from other flu-like symptoms, mumps can also cause pain when performing activities like chewing and swallowing. If symptoms do occur, it usually happens two to three weeks after exposure to the virus. Mumps is typically transmitted via infected saliva droplets, which can be passed on by kissing, coughing, sneezing, or sharing utensils and cups. “It’s often passed by saliva.

To stagnate a mumps outbreak among Bozeman elementary students, school and health officials have prevented some children without a vaccine from going to class. Gallatin City-County Health Department workers found five cases of the viral disease this week. The only case confirmed by a lab test was a Morning Star Elementary School student. Health Officer Matt Kelley said students without a vaccination have been stopped from attending school for now. Because mumps takes a while to show itself, that prohibition could last until the new year. Advertisement “We’re not forcing anyone to get a vaccine. It’s about the risk that is present in a school for them,” he said. “Kids that are up-to-date on their recommended immunizations required for school likely have a great deal of immunity to this.” Montana law mandates kids are vaccinated against mumps. Parents with kids beyond child care can either get a medical exception — which takes a note from a health provider — or file
