A member asked:
Is it possible to have mumps even if i received the vaccine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is unlikely that you will get it, but it has been shown that during the last us epidemic, the majority of teenagers who developed mumps indeed had had 2 dose of MMR earlier. It appears that immunity drops with age.
