MMR vaccine target, in part (5)

I believe the answer is:

mumps

(Other definitions for mumps that I've seen before include "harmful disease" , "Complaint" , "Infectious childhood disease" , "Parotid gland disease" , "Viral disease mainly affecting children" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
