A member asked:
How common is it for somebody to get parotitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Parotitis: Because of the us vaccination program (MMR) mumps is very rare; ~ 800 cases are reported each year, primarily in children under 15. Many foreign countries do not use/have available the mumps vaccine; consequently, the incidence of disease there is much higher.
