I’m certain that the CDC will report the details of the epidemic of mumps currently ongoing in New York within the next several weeks. Suffice it to say that there is price to pay when a community forgoes vaccinations for childhood diseases,such as measles, mumps and rubella. In our global world and international travel, diseases that are rare in present society can be introduced in one plane flight. If the disease finds a susceptible community, then it will spread unabated.
