Yes, an older adult can contract mumps, although it is more common in children. Mumps is caused by a viral infection and can affect individuals of any age, especially those who are not vaccinated or have not previously had the disease. Symptoms include swelling of the salivary glands, fever, and muscle aches. Vaccination with the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine is the most effective way to prevent mumps.
