Yes, it is possible to be a carrier of the mumps virus even after having had the infection, although this is rare. After recovering from mumps, most individuals develop immunity and are unlikely to get reinfected or spread the virus. However, in some cases, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems, the virus can persist in certain tissues and potentially be transmitted. Vaccination is the best way to prevent mumps and its spread.
