Patty and Tina were exposed to the mumps at 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 as a child, and she is worried that Patty and her 2-month-old baby sister, who is breast-feeding, will get the mumps. Who is most likely to get the mumps and why?

Patty's mom is, because her memory cells for the mumps virus have expired.

The baby is, because she is too young to have passive immunity to the virus.

Tina is, because the virus was dead in the vaccine
