Question
My child is now one year old, and his health is not good, he often catches a cold. I’m worried that he might contract Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease if he comes into contact with it. I want to know if one-year-old children can receive the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease vaccine? Can the vaccine really prevent Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?
Answer
Receiving the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease vaccine can reduce the risk of infection but cannot completely prevent the disease. Children have lower immunity, so it’s especially important to pay attention to personal hygiene during peak periods, avoid putting hands in the mouth, and wash hands frequently. Additionally, be mindful of preventing colds and ensure adequate fluid intake.
