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.

Why do the viruses in mumps vaccines not cause mumps?
The viruses in mumps vaccines are live attenuated strains, meaning they have been weakened so they cannot cause the disease in healthy individuals. These modified viruses can still stimulate an immune response, allowing the body to recognize and fight off the actual mumps virus if encountered in the future. The attenuation process ensures that while the immune system is trained to respond, the vaccine does not lead to the symptoms of mumps.
