The vaccine produces a subclinical, noncommunicable infection with very few side effects. Mumps vaccine is available both in monovalent (mumps only) form and in combinations: mumps-rubella and measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccines.The vaccine is approximately 95% efficacious in preventing mumps disease; greater than 97% of persons known to be susceptible to mumps develop measurable antibody following vaccination. Vaccine-induced antibody is protective and long-lasting, although of considerably lower titer than antibody resulting from natural infection. The duration of vaccine-induced immunity is unknown, but serologic and epidemiologic data collected during 20 years of live vaccine use indicate both the persistence of antibody and continuing protection against infection. Estimates of clinical vaccine efficacy ranging from 75% to 95% have been calculated from data collected in outbreak SN - 0002-922X M3 - doi: 10.1001/archpedi.1989.02150220031015 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archpedi.1989.02150220031015 ER -
