Causes of Mumps & How it Spreads

Mumps after Vaccination

Even when you have been vaccinated, mumps infection could still develop. The main reason is that the vaccine is not completely effective in every case. According to scientists, only around 88 percent of the cases can produce immunity. When many people are vaccinated, it will reduce the prevalence of the infection in the community, thus creating herd immunity. Overall, vaccination would help reduce the risk and protect your family friends. While it does not work in all cases, infected people would have milder symptoms with vaccination. [3]
