mumps

San Diego State University is reportedly dealing with a mumps outbreak as it prepares for its opening Pac-12 game. The illness has raised questions about player availability and whether the athletic program can contain the spread in time for the matchup. Details on how many cases or affected teams have not been confirmed by the university.

Health experts are recommending that people get the MMR vaccine as a measles outbreak continues to expand. The MMR shot, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella, is described as the key defence against the highly contagious disease. Officials are urging families to check their vaccination status as the outbreak grows.
