My doctor says my daughter has mumps but she was given the first mmr vac one and a half years ago can this be right?
Yes, it is possible for a vaccinated child to contract mumps, although the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) significantly reduces the risk. No vaccine is 100% effective, and some individuals may still get mumps if exposed. Additionally, the vaccine's effectiveness can wane over time, which may increase the risk of infection. It's important to discuss any concerns with your doctor for further clarification and guidance.
