The MMR vaccination was highly encouraged in early February when four cases of measles broke into the C-U community. To prevent further spreading of the illness, students are advised to cover their noses and mouths when coughing or sneezing, wash their hands frequently, refrain from sharing food utensils, avoid close contact with those showing symptoms and avoid touching their eyes, nose or mouth. However, the most effective way to avoid a full outbreak according to McKinley is to be immunized with the MMR vaccine. At least two doses of MMR vaccine is required for all University students in addition to immunization of other vaccine-preventable diseases. The University encouraged students who believe they may have mumps to seek care at McKinley, and if the illness is confirmed, to not attend class in order to avoid further spreading of the disease.
