Should actions be taken after a mumps case visits a doctors office?
If an office assessment has not already been done, determine immunity of the office and medical personnel. This includes documentation of two doses of MMR, a positive mumps IgG, a history of physician diagnosed mumps, or birth before 1957. Administer MMR as needed. Susceptible personnel who have been exposed should be kept from direct patient contact from the 12th day after the first exposure through the 25th day after the last exposure. See Infection Control in Healthcare Settings for more information.
