and administering doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine booster.

Hmmm. So these are already vaxed individuals, then? Interesting. I thought the MMR vax was "97% effective and gives lifelong protection." So why are boosters suddenly necessary?

It's "99% effective" alright, just not at preventing mumps, measles and chickenpox.

Apparently not.

MMR & MMRV vaccines usually protect people for life against measles and rubella; but immunity against mumps may decrease over time.
