Uni's mumps outbreak: "The highly infectious disease has been diagnosed in at least eight students in the past two weeks, with more cases likely."
We vaccinate against mumps and it works. Once you have had mumps you are also immune. I can't believe we have mumps because in older people it can be very unpleasant. Hopefully they do not get it too badly. I had mumps when I was little and fainted! I hated it. My sister had it really badly and her face was so swollen and my brother seemed to be the sickest of us all even though he didn't have such a swollen face. He couldn't start his first day of school! Now we have had vaccinations you rarely hear of it. You can get more information here:
