Epidemiology of Mumps in Quebec,
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In 1995, as part of its measles control programs, the National Advisory Council on Immunization recommended the use of the trivalent measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) for the second measles vaccination. However, the Mumps and Rubella Consensus Conference demonstrated that mumps are considered a very low-priority disease in Canada and a single-dose vaccination program seems acceptable. Since the need for a second dose of mumps vaccine is questionable, a review of the recent epidemiology of mumps may be useful.
