My SIL teaches at a HS in Queens. The teachers have been told that there is a mumps outbreak. They and their family members should get mumps boosters. My daughter is 8 months pregnant. I don't think her doctor would give her any vaccination boosters while pregnant. She doesn't want to risk it at any rate.

I haven't seen this reported in the news, but my SIL got a call from the school saying he should get the booster before break is over.

Just thought I would pass it along.
