Possible Mumps Cases at University of Virginia
According to a recent issue of UVa Today, the online University of Virginia news service, there are now five possible cases of mumps among students on the University of Virginia campus. All the students were vaccinated against the disease.
UVA is now focusing on its vaccination campaign, by contacting students not in compliance with both UVA and Virginia vaccination requirements. The university is also offering free vaccines to anyone who had close contact with the students.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), symptoms of mumps include fatigue, fever, headache, and swollen glands, especially around the jaw.
