Question
What are the effects of the hand, foot, and mouth disease vaccine on the body? Can a child still get infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease after vaccination?
Answer
After receiving the hand, foot, and mouth disease vaccine, it can prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease caused by EV71 virus. However, since there are many different subtypes of viruses that can cause hand, foot, and mouth disease, there is still a possibility of infection with other hand, foot, and mouth diseases caused by non-EV71 viruses. During an outbreak period, it is advisable to avoid contact with patients to reduce the risk of infection.
