Mumps outbreak at San Diego State University
Overview
A mumps outbreak was identified at San Diego State University (SDSU) among student athletes. Initially, San Diego County Public Health Services confirmed five cases—three confirmed and two probable—within a single athletic team, with symptoms appearing as early as September 6.
By early October, the outbreak expanded significantly within the SDSU football team, reaching 14 confirmed cases and one probable case. In response to the surge, the university and public health officials implemented daily screenings, contact tracing, and MMR vaccine booster clinics. University officials noted that the increase in cases likely reflects the 12 to 25-day incubation period following exposure.
