Apart from a vaccination how can you prevent mumps?

Prevention

- Avoid close contact with people who have mumps. This includes avoiding people who are coughing, sneezing, or have a fever.

- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. This is especially important after being in public places or after contact with someone who is sick.

- Don't share food, drinks, or personal items with someone who is sick.

- If you are sick with mumps, stay home from work or school to prevent spreading the infection to others.
