Mumps outbreak among students

Campus
Tuesday, 17th March 2009
There has been a suspected outbreak of mumps at the university.

Steve Page, Manager of Student Support Services, told The Yorker last week that eight to ten students were suspected of having mumps.

The students displayed symptoms consistent with mumps, and received medical advice for treatment.

Page said: "The advice for all students is to check whether they have had two doses of the MMR vaccine and if in doubt to consult their GP, this is particularly urgent for those who have had close contact with someone now suspected of having mumps."

In a message on York Extra, Page also advised students with suspected mumps to stay off school, seminars and work for at least five days.
