Overview
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.
- The risk of exposure to mumps among travelers can be high in most countries of the world, especially for travelers who are older than 12 months and who do not have evidence of mumps immunity.
- Working or living in close proximity to an individual infected with Rubulavirus (e.g. classrooms, college dormatories).
