mumps

[Jess]

is the mumps epidemic a nationwide thing?
just wondering!

Nottingham and Coventry had their jabs today.

Apparently only the posh are susceptible

Wow, I thought it was just in our neck of the woods.
Too many locals travelling over to potential English Universities it seems (well, maybe).
I'd say at least half the people in my school have had them by now...I'm one of the lucky, bypassed 500

Apparently only the posh are susceptible

[bedders]

no Nottingham first, Longsight second (Longsight is a district of Manchester, my school just happens to be in the middle of it)

[juniorkyle]

Do you take a gun to school?

My brother got the mumps in december just after he'd had a jab for it at uni, and another girl from the uni had the same thing... weird

[ruth]

5 people at my school have got mumps now! it is a nationwide thing then!? we're probably all carriers and spreading it through o events.

There's been about 10 people i think in my year who've had/got mumps. (About 120 in the year) I've had to have the vaccination though so I should be safe hopefully!
