Although most people who were vacinnated with MMR to prevent mumps are fully protected, a small percentage of people have had mumps after a previous MMR vaccination. Within the last 10 years, several news articles discussed that older perople who had been vaccinated in the 1950s-60s may not have gotten proper boosters or the boosters may fail, so there was some discussion about whether older adults should be re-vaccinated. However, I never heard any follow-up on that news story.
