  2. mumps...to vaccinate or not to vaccinate?

    marilynmom replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    That is scarey. Is it coming back mainly in adolecence and adults like this recent mumps outbreak is? I'm wondering if our vaccine protection for MMR only really lasts until middle to late...

  3. mumps...to vaccinate or not to vaccinate?

    marilynmom replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I totally agree about the numbers being confusing (it is to me) that is why I was asking. I still have not seen anything about 6% of the cases having encephalitis though? If anyone has a link for...

    marilynmom replied to nurscee's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    marilynmom replied to Renee73's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    marilynmom replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing
