[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um. You can still catch mumps even if you're fully vaccinated. It's not 100%. [/quote] Didn't Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins) have mumps? My friend, who i can't imagine wasn't vaccinated, also had mumps. I don't think mumps is as dangerous as measles or anything. [/quote] People who are infected with mumps don’t get sick right away—it can take 2 to 4 weeks for them to show signs of infection In most children, mumps is pretty mild. But it can cause serious, lasting problems, including: Meningitis (swelling of the tissue covering the brain and spinal cord) Deafness (temporary or permanent). Men and adolescent boys can develop pain or swelling in their testicles, which rarely results in sterility. The most serious complication is inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), which can lead to death or permanent disability.[/quote]
