Question

If the second dose of the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease vaccine has not been administered, can the third dose be administered directly?

Answer

The standard vaccination schedule for the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease vaccine typically includes two doses of basic immunization, with a one-month interval between the two doses. It is recommended to complete the second dose first and then wait another month before receiving the third dose. Skipping the second dose and directly administering the third dose does not comply with standard vaccination recommendations. For the vaccination of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, it is important to follow the guidance of a doctor to ensure that children receive the best possible immune protection. If there are any questions about the vaccination schedule, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate medical advice.
