The role of schools in the spread of mumps among unvaccinated children: A retrospective cohort study Full Text
BMC Infectious Diseases, 08/25/2011
Ruijs WLM et al. – If and when unvaccinated children got mumps was determined by the particular school the children and their siblings attended, and by the household size. This finding suggests that school closure can influence the spread of an epidemic among orthodox protestant populations, provided that social distancing is adhered to as well. Further research on the effects of school closure on the final attack rate is nevertheless recommended.
