it is a virus which is also caused of measles
The mumps are caused by a virus called the paramyxovirus.
Mumps (epidemic parotitis) is a viral disease caused by the mumps virus. It is a contagious disease that is spread from person to person through contact with respiratory secretions such as saliva from an infected person. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, the droplets aerosolize and can enter the eyes, nose, or mouth of another person. Mumps can also be spread by sharing food and drinks. The virus can also survive on surfaces and then be spread after contact in a similar manner.
If a student is vaccinated against mumps, then he will not get mumps. He is susceptible for all other virus infections. Suppose you vaccinate a student for Flu. Still he can get the infection from other strains of the Flu. So immunity is very specific for perticular virus and strain of virus.

Mumps is caused by a virus, not a microbe in the traditional sense. Specifically, it is caused by the mumps virus, which is a member of the Paramyxoviridae family. Unlike bacteria, viruses like the mumps virus cannot reproduce on their own and require a host cell to replicate. Vaccination has effectively reduced the incidence of mumps in many parts of the world.
