Restone Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Seems strange to see UND alums getting mumps, I'm wondering if there is an effort to vaccinate players ion the team?
UNDBIZ Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Pretty sure UND requires on-campus students to have received the MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) vaccine. According to the CDC, the vaccine is only 88% effective in preventing mumps. https://www.cdc.gov/mumps/vaccination.html 2
Cratter Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 I remember getting my vaccines up to date before I could go to UND.
runaroundsioux Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Parise got a mumps vaccine booster in 2014 when mumps last swept through the NHL. Still got mumps.

A lot of people think vaccines for virus' are basically 100% effective, which isn't true. The flu vaccine is even worse. Pretty sure it's below 50% effective because the vaccination is only for the known/common strains and there are constantly new strains of the flu virus
