Is it necessary for junior high school students to get the mumps vaccine?

If junior high school students have been infected with mumps in the past or have received the mumps vaccine, it is not necessary to receive the mumps vaccine. If they have not been infected with mumps in the past and have not received the mumps vaccine, it is necessary to receive the mumps vaccine.

Mumps is an acute infectious disease caused by the mumps virus. It is common in children aged 1 to 15 years old and is relatively easy to be infected. The mumps vaccine is an effective way to prevent mumps. After vaccination, protective antibodies can be obtained to avoid infection.

If a junior high school student has been infected with mumps in the past, or has been vaccinated with mumps vaccine, and there are still protective antibodies against the mumps virus in the body, there is no need to get vaccinated with mumps vaccine again.

If a junior high school student has never been infected with mumps and has not been vaccinated with mumps vaccine, and the student is between 1 and 15 years old, which is a high-risk age for mumps, then it is very necessary to get vaccinated with mumps vaccine in this case, which can prevent mumps.
