Q.
Hi Doctor. My son is 1 year 10 months old. We have followed regular chart of vaccines for him. MR1 and MR2 have been given to him. So Mumps wasn't included during vaccination. Is it necessary ? If so, then how do we include only Mumps vaccine now ? Regards, Harsha

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. For your 1 year and 10-month-old son, it's important to ensure that he receives all recommended vaccinations. In many countries, the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine is given in two doses:
1. **First Dose (MMR1):** Typically administered between 12 and 15 months of age.
2. **Second Dose (MMR2):** Administered between 4 and 6 years of age.
Since your son has already received MR1 and MR2, it suggests he has had the measles and rubella vaccines. If the mumps vaccine was not included separately, it is generally covered in the MMR vaccines.
To clarify and ensure he has all necessary vaccinations:
1. **Check Records:** Review your vaccination records or consult with your healthcare provider to confirm the details of the MMR vaccinations given.
2. **Consult Your Pediatrician:** Contact your pediatrician or local health clinic to confirm whether your son has received the mumps vaccination through the MMR shots and to discuss any additional steps if needed.
In most cases, if the MMR vaccine has been administered, it includes protection against mumps.
