Give students free mumps vaccinations, urges union
The National Disease Surveillance Centre said approximately 110 people were affected in Dublin, the Midlands and the North West in three separate outbreaks at third-level institutions.
Two non-linked cases have also been identified in the Carlow/Kilkenny area, it said. The USI said it was launching a campaign at raising awareness among students following the recent outbreaks at Letterkenny Institute of Technology, Athlone Institute and NUI Maynooth.
