Is the mumps vaccine self-paid or free? Is it necessary to get the mumps vaccine?

Mumps is a contagious viral disease that is common among children and adolescents, and mainly occurs in winter and spring. There is a special vaccine for mumps. In order to prevent the spread of the disease, parents can take their children to get vaccinated.

It is a self-paid vaccine. Many people tend to confuse the mumps vaccine with the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, but in fact, the two are very different. The measles, mumps and rubella vaccine is a vaccine that must be administered as stipulated by the state and is free of charge, but the mumps vaccine can be decided based on personal circumstances and is self-paid. Domestic vaccinations of the first category are free, including the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. The second category of vaccines are self-paid, including the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. Therefore, parents should not think that free vaccines can prevent mumps, and must remember to vaccinate their children with the second category of mumps vaccine.

It is necessary to get vaccinated. Mumps is an infectious disease, which is usually spread by droplet transmission and close contact. When patients are infected with mumps, their salivary glands will swell. The swelling of the parotid glands usually develops forward, backward and downward with the earlobe as the center. At the same time, they will have difficulty speaking and swallowing, and they will also have symptoms such as fever, headache, and loss of appetite. At present, the country has developed a vaccine against mumps, which plays an important role in preventing mumps.

There are two main vaccines for mumps. One is the high-priced mumps immunoglobulin. The human body receives this vaccine through passive immunity. Its advantage is that it works quickly, but it is difficult to obtain and promote. The other is the triple vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella. The human body receives this vaccine through automatic immunity. It is also one of the vaccines in the national immunization program. It is usually given twice, once at 8 months of age and once between 18 and 24 months of age.

1. Vaccination targets: Children over eight months old can receive the mumps vaccine.

2. Contraindications to vaccination. Mumps vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine. Although the vaccine is effective, it is likely to cause an abnormal reaction in the human immune system. Therefore, children with low immunity should not be vaccinated. 3. During the vaccination period, you must follow the doctor's instructions and do not use medications indiscriminately.
