Mumps--previously, almost exclusively, considered a childhood ailment--had been all but wiped out in the U.S. as a result of widespread vaccination.

Per the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention;

Since the two-MMR dose vaccination program was introduced in 1989, U.S. mumps cases decreased more than 99%, with only a few hundred cases reported most years.

However, since 2006, there have been several increases in cases and outbreaks about every 5 years.

As of April of 2019, Indiana University reported an outbreak of 16 cases of mumps among its student body, 9 of which were directly linked to a single fraternity.

Cleaning in the event of, or to prevent mumps outbreaks requires adhering to a high standard of cleanliness and hygienic practices, including:

Well-regimented hand-hygiene habits.

Facility occupant education, and;

Cross-contamination prevention procedures.
