Best Answer

Maurice Hilleman developed the first effective mumps vaccine in 1963. It was tested and became commercially available in 1967. It was created from live mumps viruses. Before that, starting in 1950, there had been a vaccine made from killed mumps viruses but it was not very effective or long-lasting.
