Season 2 Episode 16 "Bart Dog Gets an F" in which Santa's Little Helper is goes to obedience school after destroying the family quilt

In this scene Lisa stays home from school with the mumps and Marge teaches her how to sew. The gif is from the part where Marge tells Lisa she just needs to "build up a callus" to sew and demonstates by poking her own finger with a needle then holding it over a lighter

The dog also destroys Homer's new shoes. Correct!

How was Lisa never vaccinated against the Mumps? That has always bothered me.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

It looks like the widely available/popular MMR vaccine was widespread by the late 70s, and given Lisa's age she would have been born in the early 80s.

So she likely would have gotten it.

However I suspect the writers for the show just reflected on their own childhood when people getting mumps was a thing.

Currently, mmr is about 86% effective against mumps. It may have been less so in the 80s. Also, she may have only had one round of shots. Could be she was just unlucky, and her immune response wasn't strong enough. It's not unheard of.
