Why are so many cases occurring in vaccinated people?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThere have been many questions about why people, who have been vaccinated, are getting mumps. As you read through the examples that follow, keep these key points in mind. This means out of every 100 people vaccinated, 95 will be protected. However, the vaccine will not "take" in 5 people, and these people will remain susceptible to the disease. By comparison, the measles vaccine (also part of the MMR vaccine) is about 98% effective and the annual influenza vaccine is about 70-85% effective.

Related QuestionsIn a community of 100 people, 100% have been vaccinated. Everyone is exposed to mumps. What happens?
Frequently Asked Questionspeople (95% of the 98 who are vaccinated) in the community are protected by the vaccine and do not get mumps. Of the 7 (5 vaccinated +2 unvaccinated) people who get mumps, 71% (5/7) were vaccinated. (This is similar to what is happening now in Iowa.) Thus a large percent of the people with mumps have been vaccinated. This is expected in a highly vaccinated population when dealing with a vaccine that is 95% effective and a contagious disease like mumps.

Related QuestionsWhy might some people born before 1957 need to be vaccinated with MMR?
Mumps FAQLive mumps vaccine was not used routinely before 1967. Before the vaccine was introduced, the age-specific incidence of the disease peaked among children aged 5-9 years. Therefore, most persons born before 1957 are likely to have been infected naturally between 1957 and 1977 and may be presumed to be immune, even if they have not had clinically recognizable mumps disease. However, birth before 1957 does not guarantee mumps immunity.
Related QuestionsWhy are people who have been vaccinated getting sick?
NIP: Diseases/Mumps/Outbreak FAQsOne dose of mumps vaccine prevents approximately about 80% of mumps and two doses approximately about 90% of cases. Even though the vaccine is effective, if most persons in a population are vaccinated, most cases in an outbreak would also be expected to be vaccinated. However, if the vaccine hadn't been used, the outbreak would have affected everyone, rather than a small percent of the population.

V E D A N - V I E T N A MIf individuals experience hypersensitivity reactions to added MSG, it would be expected that they would experience similar symptoms from foods containing comparable quantities of "free" glutamate, such as tomatoes and mushrooms.

Related QuestionsWhat if somebody has already been vaccinated?
Frequently Asked QuestionsImmunity from smallpox vaccination decreases with the passage of time. Past experience indicates that the first dose of the vaccine offers protection from smallpox for three to five years, with decreasing immunity thereafter. If a person is vaccinated again later, immunity lasts longer. A report from Europe suggests that people vaccinated 10 or 20 or more years ago have enough immunity to lessen their chance of death if infected.
