Resurgence of mumps in Singapore caused by the Rubini mumps virus vaccine strain.

Abstract
The measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine containing the highly attenuated Rubini mumps virus strain conferred no protection against acute parotitis in vaccinated children in Singapore. Its introduction into the national childhood immunisation programme has resulted in a reduction in the seroprevalence of mumps to prevaccination levels.
