Abstract: Mumps a highly contagious disease, and it is caused by mumps virus. This research analyzed analyzes the research progress of mumps vaccine, and discussed the main problems faced by mumps vaccine. The live attenuated mumps vaccine has been used in most countries and regions for nearly 50 years since its introduction. Although mumps vaccination was able to greatly reduce the incidence of mumps in the past, in recent years there are many cases of mumps around the world, indicating a tendency for mumps disease to recrect. The reason is prolonged use of the mumps vaccine has led to some problems. The main problem is the vaccine is not effective enough, and the immune effect become weaker with time. Because mumps is highly contagious and can cause many very serious sequelae, so it is important to prevent mumps disease. The most useful way to control mumps disease is still mumps vaccine. Changing the injection schedule, increasing the number of injections, and designing new vaccines with other genotypes mumps virus as vaccine strains may solve the main problem faced by the current mumps vaccine.
