Missouri Not Expected to Receive Much of Additional Mumps Vaccine

More vaccine is headed to the Midwest to deal with the worst outbreak of mumps in years. Nanci Gonder with the State Health Department says the bulk of the MMR – measles-mumps-rubella – vaccine, probably won’t find its way to Missouri because we don’t have a major problem here. Missouri has just over 20 confirmed or probable cases of mumps, compared to more than 800 in neighboring Iowa.
