Mumps Prevention
Mumps can be avoided via vaccination. Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccinations [5] are typically given to infants and kids at the same time. At a routine well-child checkup between the ages of 12 and 15 months, the first MMR shot is typically administered. Children between the ages of 4 and 6 who are school-age require a second immunization. The effectiveness of the mumps vaccine after two doses is about 88 percent. A single dose has an efficacy rate of roughly 78%.
Adults who were born prior to 1957 and have not yet developed the mumps may wish to get the vaccine. A mumps vaccination should always be required for those who work in high-risk settings like hospitals or schools.
The MMR vaccine should not be given to anyone with a weakened immune system, a gelatin or neomycin allergy, or a pregnant woman. For information about a vaccination regimen for you and your kids, speak with your primary care physician.
