ACHA, with assistance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), developed this toolkit to assist schools in providing accurate and engaging information to students regarding MMR vaccine, especially in the event of a mumps outbreak on campus. The toolkit includes:
Talking Points
These talking points, which can be customized with campus-specific information, equip university administration to respond to questions about outbreak response measures during a mumps outbreak and the importance of early, targeted vaccination. The talking points include:
- Outbreak summary
- What the university is doing, including 3rd dose recommendation
- What students should do
- What parents should do
- What health departments are doing
- General mumps information, including transmission and vaccination
- Resources
