The Springfield-Greene County Health Department has confirmed a case of mumps with a student attending Glendale High School.
Please review the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (MDHSS) Mumps fact sheet and monitor your child or children for symptoms. If symptomatic, please contact your primary healthcare provider.
If your child or children are not immunized against mumps, you may wish to contact your healthcare provider.
If your family is uninsured and you do not have a primary care physician, you may contact the Springfield-Greene County Health Department West Side Public Health Center at 417-874-1220 to obtain immunizations. Families that have insurance but no primary care provider may contact Jordan Valley Health Center at 417-831-0150 for immunizations.
In the event of an outbreak, all parent/guardians of students that are NOT fully vaccinated against mumps will be notified and students excluded for at least 26 days per MDHSS guidelines.
