Is the vaccine effective against hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

Recently diagnosed with this disease at the hospital. Is the vaccine effective for hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection. Vaccination against this condition is not very effective, and there is a possibility of transmission by contact with patients infected with the hand, foot, and mouth virus. Pay attention to a balanced diet, diversified food intake, and strengthen exercise. Engage in more outdoor activities to enhance physical resistance. For hand, foot, and mouth disease, antiviral drugs can be used in conjunction with treatment. For example, acyclovir and oral antiviral liquids.
