Patient's question:
What effects do vaccines have on children's bodies? Can children still get hand, foot, and mouth disease even after being vaccinated?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease can still be transmitted even after receiving the hand, foot, and mouth disease vaccine. This is because there are many different subtypes of viruses that can cause hand, foot, and mouth disease. The vaccine primarily prevents the occurrence of hand, foot, and mouth disease caused by the EV71 virus, but it does not provide protection against hand, foot, and mouth disease caused by Coxsackie virus. Therefore, during outbreaks of the disease, it is important to avoid contact with patients.
