Successes hmlang2 https://padlet.com/hmlang2/eqx1mk6ny0t1lziw/wish/990949236 After the mumps vaccine was introduced, there was steady decline of people becoming infected by the Mumps Virus. Therefore, development of the vaccine and regular vaccinations are still considered a preventive measure in ensuring the reduction of mumps globally. When there is an out break, it's highly recommend to receive a third dose of MMR vaccine.
