"Mumps cases treble: doctor urges young people to get jabbed" "Three times as many cases of Mumps have been notified to Kent and Medway Health Protection Unit this year compared to last year. Following an immunisation programme among students at the University of Kent at Canterbury in response to a mumps outbreak there in February this year, the numbers of cases reduced, but then started to rise again. The numbers have risen in the last few weeks so that the unit is now being notified of one suspected case almost every day - although only between a third and a half of them turn into confirmed cases."
