ATLANTA - A mumps outbreak among Orthodox Jews in New York and New Jersey has

now surpassed 1,500 cases and shows no sign of ending soon.

The outbreak began last summer at a boys camp in the Catskills. Nearly all the

cases are in the insular Orthodox Jewish community. Health officials said most

had a mumps vaccination, but the shots are not completely effective.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday said the count has

now reached 1,521. Nineteen people have been hospitalized, but no deaths have

been reported.
