    Mumps incidence in the US has dramatically decreased by 99% since 1968 due to widespread mumps vaccination and school immunization laws. Continued reporting and enforcement are crucial for sustained disease control.

    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Public Health
    • Vaccinology

    Background:

    • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tracks mumps incidence via the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS).
    • Mumps vaccine was licensed in December 1967, followed by the implementation of state immunization laws.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze trends in mumps incidence in the United States.
    • To evaluate the impact of mumps vaccination and immunization laws on disease rates.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized weekly NNDSS reports from 48 states and the District of Columbia (1988-1993).
    • Calculated mumps incidence rates and analyzed age-specific trends.
    • Correlated incidence rates with state-level school immunization requirements.

    Main Results:

    • Reported mumps cases declined by 99% from 1968 (152,209 cases) to 1993 (1,692 cases).
    • The largest incidence rate reductions (>50%) were observed in individuals aged 10 years and older.
    • States with comprehensive school immunization laws had lower mumps incidence compared to those without.

    Conclusions:

    • Extensive mumps vaccination and enacted immunization laws have led to a further decrease in reported cases.
    • The incidence pattern shifted, with a recent increase in school-aged children.
    • Healthcare providers are urged to report all mumps cases and support school immunization mandates.
