• Description:
  From January 1 to January 25, 2020, 16 states* in the U.S. reported mumps infections in 70** people to CDC.
  
  Before the U.S. mumps vaccination program started in 1967, about 186,000 cases were reported each year, but the actual number of cases was likely much higher due to underreporting. Since the two-MMR dose vaccination program was introduced in 1989, U.S. mumps cases decreased more than 99%, with only a few hundred cases reported most years. However, since 2006, there have been several increases in cases and outbreaks (see below).
