Mumps is a very contagious disease transmitted through droplet or respiratory route, if kid is vaccinated with mumps Vaccine then chances are less but even otherwise also its a self limiting illness, only needs supportive care, rarely u will have complications in kids but adults u can get complications so, don't worry :)
