Overview
Mumps can be prevented with MMR vaccine. The United States is replacing MMR with the MMRV vaccine, which also protects against chickenpox. A single dose is on average 78% effective at preventing mumps while 2 doses is on average 88% effective. In general all age groups should receive 2 doses of MMR or MMRV vaccine unless an individual has evidence of immunity. The vaccine is contraindicated in pregnant women, individuals with egg or neomycin allergies and immune-compromised or severely immune-suppressed individuals.
Primary Prevention
- Mumps can be prevented with MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine.[1]
- 2 doses of vaccine is 88% (range 66-95%) effective
- 1 dose of vaccine is 78% (range 49-92%) effective
- Multiple vaccine strains exist:[2]
- The Jeryl Lynn strain is most commonly used in developed countries, but has been shown to have reduced efficacy in epidemic situations.
- The Leningrad-Zagreb strain is commonly used in developing countries, but appears to have superior efficacy in epidemic situations.
- In the US, MMR is now being supplanted by MMRV, which adds protection against chickenpox.
Vaccine Contraindications
- Women who are pregnant[3]
- Women are recommended to avoid pregnancy for 3 months after vaccination
- People with the following allergies:
- Sever egg allergy - children with mild egg allergies can be vaccinated but should be monitored for 20 minutes after receipt
- Neomycin
- Children who are immune-compromised or severely immune-suppressed
- HIV-positive children who are NOT immune-compromised should still receive MMR vaccination.
CDC Vaccination Recommendations
Children
- Children should receive 2 doses of MMR vaccine:[1]
- First dose at 12 - 15 months of age
- Second dose at 4 - 6 years of age
- Children can receive the second dose earlier as long as it is at least 28 days after the first dose
Post-High School Students
- Students at post-high school educational institutions, such as college, trade schools, and training programs, who do not have evidence of immunity (protection) against mumps need two doses of MMR vaccine, separated by at least 28 days.
Adults
- People who are born during or after 1957 who do not have evidence of immunity against mumps should get at least one dose of MMR vaccine.
International Travelers
- Children 12 months of age or older should have two doses of MMR vaccine, separated by at least 28 days.
- Teenagers and adults without evidence of immunity to mumps should have two doses of MMR vaccine, separated by at least 28 days.
