Overview
- The university disclosed Wednesday that a single student athletic team has 14 confirmed mumps cases and one probable case with one related case outside the team.
- SDSU and San Diego County Public Health Services are conducting daily symptom screenings, testing and contact tracing for team members and identified close contacts.
- A free MMR booster clinic for students is scheduled at the Calpulli Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to prioritize close contacts and reduce further transmission.
- Coach Sean Lewis said he will not name affected players, citing FERPA and HIPAA protections, while the team’s availability report shows multiple players listed as out or questionable for upcoming games.
- Public-health officials note that two-dose MMR requirements remain in place but mumps immunity can decrease over time, which helps explain outbreaks among vaccinated young adults and underpins the booster strategy.
