Are there any changes to the childhood vaccination schedule for mumps during an outbreak?
No. Any changes would depend on the epidemiology and age groups affected by an outbreak. Unless otherwise advised, children should be vaccinated according to the vaccination schedule. Preschool-aged children should receive the first dose of MMR vaccine as close to age 12 months as possible (i.e., on or after the first birthday). The second dose of MMR vaccine is recommended when children are aged 4-6 years (i.e., before a child enters kindergarten or first grade). This recommended timing for the second dose of MMR vaccine has been adopted jointly by ACIP, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). If the outbreak affects the 1-4 year old age group, then the children should receive their 2 nd MMR dose now, provided 28 days have passed since receipt of their first dose of MMR. A 2 dose vaccine schedule for measles vaccine administered as MMR was recommended in 1989.
