does mumps vaccine shed?

DD6.5 probably has mumps. 10.5 yo received first MMR on schedule - 6.5 & 1.5 have had zero vaccines.

So, I'm trying to wrap my head around how she caught it. We really haven't been around many kids for the last few weeks. Most of our friends don't vaccinate, so we're telling them all,

but where else could she get it if nobody else has it??

MMR is a live virus vaccine so theoretically it can shed, however I think the chances of this are failry small.

possibly yes. does not happen often, but my friend's younger sibling caught measles as a baby from someone who had just gotten the mmr. its a live (albeit weakened) vaccine.
this is why i am not getting dd (13mos) the mmr for a very very long time....i'm barely 2mos pg. rubella titer is neg. but i also refuse to get myself the mmr while i have a baby, due to the slight chance of transmission.
