I haven't been able to find much via google.

Just curious!
BTK - it depends on a couple of things: most importantly, were they immunized as a child? Many of us were. If not, what is your risk of exposure? Grandkids recently been to Disneyland or otherwise potentially exposed and coming to visit you? Were I that individual I would seek the advice of my PCP. Mumps, measles, chickenpox, etc can be very painful at the least and deadly at the worst for folks our age.

Do we have an ARNP on board TOTV?
