What are the chances of catching mumps even if you have been vaccinated?

It's not likely to get mumps after being immunized. However, you and your twin were likely immunized at the same time, and it's possible that whatever mechanism allowed him to get mumps in spite of immunization could also affect you. Ask your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.

Who do vaccinations protect?
First, they protect the one that's been vaccinated. Secondly, by keeping the vaccinated one from catching the disease, they can't spread the disease, which in a slightly roundabout way also protects the unvaccinated.
Are there mumps only vaccines?
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. You should consult your family physician for any questions about what vaccinations children or adults should have.

Is mumps catchable?
It is a virus and it is contagious. Most people living in developed countries have been immunized against it (mumps is one of the "M's" in the MMR vaccine) so will have some resistance and probably will not get it even if exposed. While immunization makes catching it less likely it is still possible to get even if you have had the shots. If you have not been immunized or if you have a problem with your immune system then it is highly contagious.
