Patient's question:
It is said that children are particularly susceptible to hand, foot, and mouth disease, so I wanted to take him for a vaccination. I just wanted to ask how many shots are needed.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common condition in children, caused by a viral infection. It is particularly prevalent during spring and autumn due to its high incidence. The at-risk group is generally children aged 2 weeks to 5 years old. If a child has a weak constitution, they can receive the vaccine. This vaccine is publicly funded, and receiving it once can provide preventive effects, which last for about a year.
