The number of mumps reports continues to grow at the University of Illinois. In an attempt to combat the outbreak, health officials are offering two free vaccinations for students this week. The highly contagious viral disease was first reported in April, and the numbers continued to climb over the summer.
So far there has been 98 confirmed cases. Students who haven't received their MMR shots have a chance today and tomorrow at the Illini Union from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
