Mumps vaccines are vaccines which prevent mumps.[1] When given to a majority of the population they decrease complications at the population level.[1] Effectiveness when 90% of a population is vaccinated is estimated at 85%.[2] Two doses are required for long term prevention.[1] The initial dose is recommended between 12 and 18 months of age.[1] The second dose is then typically given between two years and six years of age.[1] Usage after exposure in those not already immune may be useful.[3]
Side effects are generally mild.[1][3] It may cause mild pain and swelling at the site of injection and mild fever.[1] More significant side effects are rare.[1] Evidence is insufficient to link the vaccine to complications such as neurological effects.[3] The vaccine should not be given to people who are pregnant or have very poor immune system function.[1] Poor outcomes among children of mothers who received the vaccine during pregnancy, however, have not been documented.[1][3] Even though the vaccine is developed in chicken cells, it is generally safe to give to those with egg allergies.[3]
Most of the developed world and many countries in the developing world include it in their immunization programs often in combination with measles and rubella vaccine known as MMR.[1] A formulation with the previous three and the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine known as MMRV is also available.[3] As of 2005, 110 countries provided the vaccine as part of their immunization programs.[1] In areas where widespread vaccination is carried out it has resulted in a more than 90% decline in rates of disease.[1] Almost half a billion doses of one variety of the vaccine has been given.[1]
