The idea that the HFMD vaccine is not recommended is wrong. This is because the vaccine is effective in reducing the chances of infection by enteroviruses and preventing other diseases as well. Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses and is most likely to occur in babies under 5 years old. It is characterized by anorexia, low-grade fever, sore mouth, and small herpes or ulcers on the hands, feet, and mouth. Most children recover spontaneously in about a week, but a few children will lead to myocarditis, pulmonary edema, aseptic meningoencephalitis, and so on. Individual babies may die due to the rapid progression of the disease, which cannot be effectively controlled. The HFMD vaccine can only prevent HFMD caused by enterovirus 71 infection, but cannot prevent HFMD caused by other enterovirus infections. The HFMD vaccine is more than 90% protective against HFMD caused by 71, and can effectively reduce the incidence of HFMD, especially in reducing the morbidity and mortality of HFMD. In short, we need the HFMD vaccine. Although the HFMD vaccine is not foolproof, it can prevent the EV71 virus of HFMD, which can reduce deaths caused by HFMD and prevent other diseases caused by enterovirus 71 infection. Therefore, the HFMD vaccine should be recommended.
