Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. Because a child in the neighborhood has hand, foot, and mouth disease, I want to give him the vaccine to put the whole family at ease. I recently heard that the hand, foot, and mouth disease vaccine has been launched. I want to ask the doctor how much it costs and if I can buy and administer the vaccine myself?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is a relatively common infectious disease in pediatrics. It is usually caused by infection with various enteroviruses, with main symptoms including blisters appearing on a child's hands, feet, and mouth, accompanied by fever. The hand, foot, and mouth vaccine is suitable for infants over 6 months old to receive, with a price that is not too expensive. It is necessary to go to a designated vaccination unit for vaccination and cannot be self-administered.
