What happens during the disease - need for immunization against mumps alone
Mumps is an infectious disease caused by the mumps virus, which is spread through direct contact with saliva or respiratory droplets from an infected person. the virus enters the body through the respiratory tract and then travels to the salivary glands, where it causes swelling and inflammation. without immunization, the virus can spread to other organs, such as the pancreas, testicles, and ovaries, leading to serious complications such as meningitis, encephalitis, and deafness. immunization is the best way to protect against mumps, as it helps the body develop immunity against the virus, reducing the risk of infection and complications.
