Four Northeastern students were recently treated by University Health and Counseling Services after exhibiting symptoms consistent with the mumps. All four students have been vaccinated against mumps and, thus far, all lab tests are negative. In each of the four cases, the symptoms have diminished in two to three days. University health records indicate that the vast majority of the Northeastern community has been vaccinated against mumps. If you have not been vaccinated, or if you begin to notice symptoms such as swelling around the neck and jaw, please contact University Health and Counseling Services at 617-373-2772.

We have created the following web page (www.northeastern.edu/emergency) where we will post updates regarding this situation.

UPDATE: According to BostonChannel.com, the outbreak stems from students returning from study abroad in Ireland, where there has been a recent outbreak of the virus.
