Australian vaccine preventable disease epidemiological review series: mumps, 2013–2021
Mumps epidemiology was dominated by large outbreaks predominantly in fully vaccinated Indigenous adolescents/young adults. Mumps outbreaks among highly vaccinated adolescent/young adult populations have occurred overseas related to waning of vaccine-induced immunity, reduced boosting from wild-type virus circulation and high force of infection in close contact settings. A third dose of mumps-containing vaccine is not warranted routinely, but should be considered in the context of outbreaks occurring in high two-dose coverage settings.
