Patty invited her friends Tina and Kim over to play after school. None of them knew that Kim was infected with the mumps virus until the next day when she did not come to school. Neither Patty nor Tina has ever had the mumps before, but several years ago Tina was given the mumps vaccine, which was made from the killed virus. Patty's mother had mumps when she was a child and she is worried that Patty and her 2-month-old baby sister, who is still breast-feeding, will get the mumps. Who is most likely to get the mumps and why?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Patty's mom is because her memory cells for the mumps virus have expired.

 The baby is because it is too young to have passive immunity to the virus.

 Tina is because the virus was dead in the vaccine she was given.

 Patty is because she has no active or passive immunity to the virus.
