Is It Necessary to Get the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Vaccine?

Question

My daughter is 4 years old, and I am considering whether or not to get the hand, foot, and mouth disease vaccine. Is this better for the baby?

Answer

Hello, if the economic conditions permit, I still recommend vaccinating your child against hand, foot, and mouth disease. This can effectively prevent the disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an acute infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. Preventive measures include avoiding contact with patients, maintaining good personal hygiene habits, such as washing hands frequently, especially before meals and after using the toilet, and avoiding crowded places with poor ventilation.
