Mumps cases in England rise to highest level in a decade
Total of 5,042 is four times that in 2018 as health experts urge people to catch up on vaccine
14 Feb 09:34 • the Guardian • 1491978794334543600.htmlMumps cases soar to highest number in a decade
There were 5,042 recorded cases of mumps in England in 2019 – four times the number in 2018 and the highest level in a decade. Many of these cases were as a result of outbreaks in universities and colleges and most were in young adults who did not have the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) jab. A large number of the 2019 cases were people born in the late 1990s and early 2000s who missed out on the MMR vaccine when they were children. In 1998, doctor Andrew Wakefield led a study that linked the MMR vaccine to autism. His work was subsequently discredited and he was struck off, but uptake of the vaccine dropped to about 80% in the late 1990s and a low of 79% in 2003.
