Question

My son is 3 years old. Since a neighbor’s child has contracted Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, I want to get him vaccinated to ensure the safety of the whole family. I’ve recently heard that the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease vaccine has been launched. Could you please tell me how much it costs? Can I buy the vaccine myself and administer it?

Answer

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a common infectious disease in children, usually caused by enteroviruses. The main symptoms include rashes on the hands, feet, and mouth, accompanied by fever. The Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease vaccine is suitable for infants over 6 months old. The price is within a reasonable range. It needs to be administered at designated preventive vaccination units and cannot be purchased and administered independently. For the specific price of the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease vaccine, please consult a doctor or relevant preventive vaccination unit.
