How did mumps start?

Answer #1

Hi,

Mumps is caused by a contagious virus, which is transmitted through airborne droplets from the coughs and sneezes of infected people.

Mumps was once considered one of the inevitable infectious diseases of childhood. Since a mumps vaccine became available in 1967, the incidence of mumps has declined in the U.S., but there are still many underimmunized populations.
