A member asked:
How effective is vaccination against mumps, and do you still need it if you had mumps infection already ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mumps vaccine: Like the measles and german measles vaccines, the mumps vaccine is very effective in prevention of the mumps disease. There is no need to receive the mumps vaccine if you already contracted the disease because you are already immune.
