If you develop symptoms of mumps, (especially facial swelling on one or both sides), <br />you should stay home, away from others, and call Campus Health, Employee Health or <br />your healthcare provider prior to visiting to the clinic. <br />To help you stay healthy, please check for evidence of your immunity to mumps as <br />soon as possible. Evidence of immunity includes: <br /> Documentation by the physician who diagnosed you with mumps, if you had the <br />disease in the past, <br /> Documentation of two mumps-containing vaccines (usually MMR) given on or <br />after your first birthday and administered at least 1 month apart, or <br /> Documentation of a positive mumps titer (a blood test showing immunity). <br />If you were born before 1957 you are likely immune to mumps and do not need <br />additional evidence of immunity. People in this age group have likely had mumps in <br />childhood. <br /> <br />For questions or concerns, you may call: <br /> Orange County Health Department to speak to a Communicable Disease nurse: <br />919-245-2400. <br /> Campus Health Services to speak to a nurse: 919-966-6573. <br /> University Employee Occupational Health Clinic -EHS: 919-966-9119 . <br /> Please look at the CHS website for updated information <br />https://campushealth.unc.edu/. The CDC also has helpful information <br />https://www.cdc.gov/mumps/index.html <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Dorothy Cilenti, MSW, MPH, DrPH (Orange County Health Director) <br />Thevy Chai, MD (Lead Physician, Campus Health Services) <br />Mary Beth Koza, MBA (Environment Health and Safety Director) <br /> <br />About Informational Messages: The University sends an Informational Message to <br />inform the campus community about a situation that is not an emergency, but is <br />expected to be of significant interest to the campus. An Informational Message is one of <br />three tiers of communication under the University’s revised emergency communications <br />plan. Emergency Warning refers to a siren activation for a significant emergency. And a <br />Timely Warning is issued if there is a continuing danger AND notification will not <br />compromise law enforcement efforts. <br />
