Always a problem. Children didn't start to get vaccinated for the mumps, usually as a MMR vaccine, until the mid to late 60's. I never had the vaccine, but did get the disease. Many people just don't know. For the younger generation it's easier---better vaccine records, and the requirement by colleges that students have TWO MMRs prior to matriculation, ever since the early 90s
