A member asked:
Can you get mumps more than once?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No (except)..: Mumps is a one time illness that you build antibodies for future protection. The exception is if you have some type of immune deficiency disorder where you don't make the normal antibodies in response to an illness. Then all bets are off.
