Mumps Outbreak Reported at Abington High

WPVI, 6abc is reporting of a suspected case of mumps discovered at Abington High School.

This prompted the school to send a letter to parents, which stated, “The Montgomery County Office of Public Health (OPH) is currently investigating a student at the Abington Senior High School with a suspected case of mumps.” 

The report at the 6abc website went on to say that “a child showing symptoms should be excluded from group settings for at least five days. The principal also asks parents to confirm their child is age-appropriately vaccinated.”
