The process goes like this, at 12-15 Months a dose of vaccine (MMR) is given to you, then between 4 and 6 years old you are treated the final time, thus finishing the immunization process. Although if a sudden outbreak were to occur, personal experiences have left students in a Midwest College to believe that a second dose is required to remain your immune to the virus and there are risks of getting vaccinated such as actually getting the virus, Mumps and an allergic reaction is commonly formed. Surprisingly a few scientists and civilians have uphold the query to whether Mumps vaccination is associated with autism. These factors do turn people away from the decision to immunize them self or their child and this isn't good because if you do catch mumps their is not a lot of procedures you can do.
