Suitcase

Mumps in United Kingdom (Isle of Man)

18 December 2012

There have been 196 cases reported so far this year (2012). This more than usual.

Advice for Travellers

It should be confirmed that children have received their recommended doses of MMR at 12-15 months of age and again pre-school around 3 years 6 months, while unimmunised adults who have not had the disease themselves may consider vaccination if thought to be at risk. Two doses of MMR vaccine are required to give adequate protection.
