Its actually going around in the southeast to... My mom got it. But most people should be immune to it considering it became a vaccine given in your first 6 months of life starting in 1967 i think

see your doctor-mumps is parotiditis-you might have a salivary duct stone, or a dental problem-you can diagnose acute mumps by getting a mumps igM antibody-if you had 2 mmrs, you should be immune.

i think only 90% of the people who had the shots are actually immune. So if you are swollen in the face, 😱 go to the physician!

You should see your doc. When I went into EMS I received an MMR booster, which is something to think and ask about.

Not true, the MMR has always been contreversial as to how effective it was. The eariler you got the vaccine, the less effective it may be, so if the OP is 26+, the vaccine might not have been that effective. ps. i'm pre-med just randomly looking at the pre-dent forum.

O, and if the OP is a male, get that treated fast. In adult mumps cases, its not the face that swells as much as the ...."cough and turn"..... so you may become sterile if you do have it.
