Overview
Risk factors for mumps include: unvaccinated individuals who do not have evidence of immunity, belonging to the age group 2-12 years, international travel, especially to countries without mumps vaccination programs, working or living in close proximity to individual(s) infected with Rubulavirus, and being in states of immunodeficiency.
Risk Factors
- Unvaccinated individuals who do not have evidence of immunity.
- Acceptable presumptive evidence of immunity to mumps includes: documented administration of two doses of live mumps virus vaccine at least 28 days apart, on or after the first birthday; laboratory evidence of immunity; birth before 1957; or documentation of physician-diagnosed mumps.
- Individuals with only 1 dose of the MMR or MMRV vaccine are at higher risk than those with 2 doses.
- Individuals with 2 doses of the MMR or MMRV vaccine are still at risk since the vaccines are not 100% effective at preventing mumps.
- Children between 2 and 12 years old are at the highest risk for contracting mumps.
- International travel, especially to countries without mumps vaccination programs.[1]
- Working or living in close proximity to individual(s) infected with Rubulavirus (e.g. classrooms, college dormatories).
- Individuals in states of immunodeficiency.[2]
