The mumps vaccine is a preventive measure against mumps, a contagious viral infection caused by the mumps virus. The vaccine is commonly administered as part of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine or the measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine. The mumps vaccine provides immunity against the mumps virus, which can lead to swollen salivary glands, fever, and other complications. Vaccination typically occurs in childhood, with a two-dose schedule recommended for optimal protection. Vaccination efforts have significantly reduced the incidence of mumps and related complications, such as meningitis and orchitis. However, occasional outbreaks still occur, emphasizing the importance of maintaining high vaccine coverage. The mumps vaccine contributes to herd immunity, protecting both vaccinated individuals and those unable to receive the vaccine due to medical reasons. Continuous surveillance, public awareness, and global vaccination initiatives remain essential to preventing mumps and its potential complications.
