When a mumps outbreak occurred at a university in October 2016, the state activated its PHEP-supported incident management system to work with partners and coordinate a targeted response. Based on the state’s recommendations, the local health department scheduled a two-day vaccination campaign at the university campus, where they used a PHEP-funded, secure, online database to track vaccines administered to students. In addition to the vaccine, the state provided nurses and other medical personnel, all partially funded by PHEP, for this vaccination campaign. As a result, more than 1,500 individuals received the vaccine before the December school break.
