ENID, Okla. - Enid Public Schools has sent an important message to EPS families.
-
Nothing is more important to Enid Public Schools than the safety, health and well being of our students and staff. We are committed to sharing information with you about concerns that could impact your child or your family.
-
We want to make you aware that the Garfield County Health Department has confirmed multiple cases of mumps in our community, including at Longfellow Middle School and Enid High School.
-
The MMR vaccine protects children against the mumps. School officials have contacted families with children whose vaccinations are out of compliance to encourage them to receive the vaccination as soon as possible. If you have any questions about your child’s vaccination status, you are encouraged to contact your healthcare provider or the Garfield County Health Department.
-
Carla Dionne with Garfield County Health Department has provided additional guidance for Enid residents, which can be found below. It includes detailed information about the mumps, including symptoms, vaccinations and prevention.
-
We appreciate your cooperation and your support of Enid Public Schools.

Mumps Reported In Enid
Vaccines protects against mumps yet all the kids infected in AR were VACCINATED. Purposely infecting healthy children with viruses is ineffective to its intended purpose!
