Question
If I don’t get the hand, foot, and mouth vaccine, is the chance of getting hand, foot, and mouth disease very high?
Answer
Generally, children under 3 years of age have a high chance of contracting hand, foot, and mouth disease, so it is recommended to get vaccinated. The vaccine is quite effective and can prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease after administration. If a child is already troubled by hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents should immediately take their child to the doctor. Avoid giving medication to the child on their own and closely monitor the child’s condition to help them recover as soon as possible.
