Health officials are reporting sharp rises in mumps as well as measles in England and Wales as efforts continue to persuade families of 10- to 18-year-olds to get their children vaccinated with the triple measles, mumps and rubella vaccine.
Confirmed cases of mumps up to the end of May in Wales stand at 76, compared with 77 in the whole of 2011 and 88 in 2012. The rise comes as the measles outbreak centred on Swansea slows with 20 more reported cases in the past week, taking the total to 1,191.
