Mumps vaccineSeveral varieties of mumps vaccine have been used since 1949, and at least 10 strains were in use in 2006:[1] The first vaccine was a killed mumps virus vaccine developed in 1948 and used in the United States from 1950-1978. This vaccine produced little immune memory, thus had a short duration of effect. In the U.S.A. it was supplanted by Mumpsvax and then MMR.[1] All subsequent preparations have been live virus attenuated by multiple passages through animal cells of one or more species. No human diploid cell vaccine is currently in use. Additional recommended knowledge
Current vaccines
A different monovalent Mumps vaccine is routinely used in Russia. Storage and stabilityThe cold chain is a major consideration in vaccination, particularly in less-developed countries. Mumps vaccines are normally refrigerated, but have a long half-life of 65 days at 23 degrees Celsius.[1] See alsovaccine, Mumps, Mumpsvax, Jeryl Lynn vaccine. References
