What about keeping your fucking Mumps to yourself.. Mumps Outbreak At Temple University Sickens As Many As 105 People Philadelphia’s health department expects the outbreak to continue “for a while longer” and encourages vaccinating. Philadelphia’s Temple University is urging its students and faculty to get mumps vaccinations amid an outbreak that has likely sickened more than 100 people over two months. As of Tuesday, the city’s Department of Public Health said there were 105 cases of mumps associated with Temple’s outbreak. Of those cases, 18 have been confirmed and 87 were probable. Six of those cases were outside of Philadelphia, the department said. The school first announced the outbreak at the end of February, just before spring break, with four confirmed cases of the disease. In some cases, public health officials may recommend two or three doses of the vaccine depending on a person’s risk of contracting the disease, according to both the CDC and the Mayo Clinic. “A study of a recent mumps outbreak on a college campus showed that students who received a third dose of MMR vaccine had a much lower risk of contracting the disease,” the Mayo Clinic’s website says.
