Question
I recently received a diagnosis of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease at the hospital. Is the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease vaccine effective?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is caused by enteroviruses, which may also be caused by Coxsackievirus. After receiving the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease vaccine, specific immune antibodies can be produced, providing immunity against these viruses with a protective effect. This can help prevent the recurrence of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease and has good preventive properties. Therefore, vaccination is recommended as part of preventive measures.
