Mumps Immunity: Lifelong Protection After Infection?


Question
Does a person who had the disease as a child have lifelong immunity to it?  Thank you for your generous help.

Answer
yes, they should.... the immunization may not provide lifelong immunity though.... There have been some outbreaks in people who have been immunized, but I don't know of any in people who have had the disease (those people are few and far between, because most have been immunized.)
