  • Individuals with only 1 dose of the MMR or MMRV vaccine are at higher risk than those with 2 doses.
  • The risk of exposure to mumps among travelers can be high in most countries of the world, especially for travelers who are older than 12 months and who do not have evidence of mumps immunity.
