Uptake of the measles, mumps, and rubella virus vaccine has gone down in recent years
Professor Jonathan Ball, from the University of Nottingham - an expert in viruses and viral vaccines and treatments - said it was affecting students because they gathered in"close proximity for fairly large periods of time". He said a local doctor diagnosed mumps but also sent away a swab for it to be confirmed, as mumps is aThe 19-year-old, who said he knew at least two others who had the symptoms, had to be isolated and driven home, avoiding public transport because of the risk of others being infected.Yes. Dr Vanessa MacGregor, from PHE, said it had seen a rise in figures recently, with teenagers and young adults who have not had two doses of the MMR vaccine"particularly vulnerable".
However, if the majority were vaccinated, those susceptible to the infection would benefit from"herd immunity", the level considered by experts to protect a population from a disease. Rates partially recovered after the research was disproved but the volume of anti-vaccine sentiment on social media has increased in recent years.

Because their parents were stupid or irresponsible? Perhaps?
Vaccination will greatly reduce likelihood of catching the illness vaccinated against but not 100% eliminate it. Having that reduction is better that the epidemics otherwise likely isn’t it?
Thought it was STDs they normally caught..🤔🤔
Errr ... not getting the mmr jab 🤔🤔🤔
Rise of unvaccinated people is the cause
Because it's there
Foreigners
Dirty people
Because of their restarted parents who didn't vaccinate them.
We should be charging many health treatment $ to the antivaccers who then burden our health systems! Imagine if an illegal brings in smallpox!
so glad that it does only affect university students!
BBCYoungReport This happened around 10 years ago too. I had all of my immunisations and was one of a group to get it over Easter break in my first year. It’s pretty grim and sometimes the immunisations don’t work 🤷🏻♀️
🙄😢
Outrageous and unnecessary. Mandatory vaccinations,the unvaccinated causes harm both to individuals, national and world health.
Being near someone with mumps?
Cos they’re shagging like rabbits?
SteveBrookesMBE 🤨
Not vaccinated from overseas
university.....
The controversy at the time centred around the triple vaccine. Individual vaccines could and should have been offered but weren't.
I was vaccinated as a child and had the mumps when I was a teenager. Around 16/17 years that was now. Ill never forgot coming home on the bus from a Celtic game when my throat started to swell. Longest journey ever!
Snowflakes
I had the mmr vaccination but still caught mumps
Because their ideological nonsense about vaccines is literally coming back to haunt them; not only that, with Students constantly moving around, it gives no breathing space.
Stop blaming the parents. If students had some respect for themselves and stop having gangbangs with 10 maybe 20 to 30 of them at a time then maybe you wouldn't have half the cases you have today. What students get up to these days would make a billy goat puke. Disgusting
They are catching mumps because the vaccine wears off as they get older. Of course, the safest time to catch mumps is as a child.
Kissing
To those smart arses saying dumb parents not getting kids vaccinated- you do know that the vaccinations aren’t a 100% guarantee yeah? My daughter got every vaccination going and still needed up with a dose of the mumps. So wind yer necks in
I had the MMR vaccination yet still caught mumps!
Irresponsible parents not getting them vaccinated.
Must be a snowflake thing 😂😂😂
But of a dumb question when its blatantly obvious they were never immunised as children
Because they're not vaccinated against it!?
Could it be that in 1998 Andrew Wakefield irresponsibly said that the MMR causes autism so kids born around that time would be off to university now? Unprotected unvaccinated young adults living in close proximity to other kids ergo an increase in the incidence?
Presumably because their mothers didn’t expose them to their siblings mumps whenthe were wee bairns
When are you going to deal with Johnson's and Gove's criminality?
In England only! ThatsDevolved SayEngland
Vote 👇 Have you had mumps?
Because of their stupid parents.
The BBC should be proud of itself, you peddled the fake news on vaccines many years ago and now we reap the rewards

The ProPlague movement is like watching an episode of TheAmericansFX where the Americans are getting destroyed by Commie–Nazi HUMINT.
