MUMPS VACCINATION
Again, like measles vaccine, it is a live, attenuated virus
obtained from the Jeryl-Linn strain (named after the child from whom it was
isolated). Its protective value is of the order of 95% and it probably gives
long immunity. It is supplied as lympholized powder which on reconstitution
should be used promptly. The dose is 317 TCID (tissue culture infective dose)
which should be administrated subcutaneously or by get gun. Mumps vaccine is
very safe.
