The mumps has broken out this winter in Washington State with 404 cases thus far with King County and Spokane County with the majority of cases. (http://www.doh.wa.gov/YouandYourFamily/IllnessandDisease/Mumps/MumpsOutbreak). The cases in Spokane County have been growing and the Health District in Spokane County has ordered non vaccinated children to stay home in an effort to curb the outbreak.
