Experts have reported a sudden rise in cases of mumps not only in Delhi but in several other states as well. Here is why we must take utmost care of children and take precautions to steer clear of this viral illness.
Mumps cases are witnessing a steep rise. In several states like Delhi-NCR, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Kerala, experts have reported increasing cases of the virus in the past few months. Mumps is a viral illness that mostly affects the kids. It mostly has flu-like symptoms and sometimes patients can be asymptomatic as well.
Vaccination: Ensure that your child receives the recommended doses of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. The vaccine is highly effective in preventing mumps and its complications. The first dose is typically administered at around 12-15 months of age, with a second dose given between 4-6 years of age.
OTaaT Solution - The recent incident could have been prevented if the children had received the appropriate vaccinations according to the immunization schedule. This lapse resulted in the spread of infection.
Our primary strategy is to ensure comprehensive immunization for all children to prevent them from contracting and spreading diseases, thereby avoiding the creation of disease hotspots within schools. Our secondary strategy involves partnering with schools to ensure that all students receive the flu vaccine, further reducing the risk of disease transmission. Making immunisation a mandatory clause for admission to save guard children.
