Fever after hand, foot and mouth vaccine

In this season, many children have contracted hand, foot and mouth disease, so many mothers will naturally think of vaccination to prevent it. Hand, foot and mouth disease vaccine is not a Class I vaccine, but due to its high incidence rate, many babies have been vaccinated with hand, foot and mouth disease vaccine. Many of these babies will have fever symptoms. So what should I do if my baby has a fever after receiving the hand, foot and mouth disease vaccine? Are there any other symptoms after receiving the hand, foot and mouth disease vaccine?

1. Will you have a fever after getting the hand, foot and mouth vaccine?

After receiving the hand, foot and mouth disease vaccine, high fever of varying degrees may occur. This phenomenon is generally caused by the side effects of the drug and should be checked and treated in time. You can choose to use oral antipyretic drugs to relieve it. If the high fever persists, you should go to the hospital for a physical examination in time.

2. What to do if you have a fever after getting the hand, foot and mouth disease vaccine?

Symptoms of fever are also a common phenomenon. High fever may also occur after vaccination, which has a great impact on patients lying in bed. It is best to carry out effective conditioning and treatment, which will have a good effect on the patient's physical health.

3. Adverse reactions after hand, foot and mouth disease vaccination

Since hand, foot and mouth disease is caused by multiple enteroviruses, the hand, foot and mouth disease vaccines currently produced can only prevent hand, foot and mouth disease caused by enterovirus 71 infection, but cannot prevent hand, foot and mouth disease caused by other enterovirus infections. However, most hand, foot and mouth diseases are now caused by enterovirus type 71, so the hand, foot and mouth disease vaccines on the market can still prevent hand, foot and mouth disease. However, in clinical trials, some adverse reactions occurred after vaccination with the hand, foot and mouth disease vaccine.

In clinical trials, local reactions after vaccination mainly manifested as redness, induration, pain, swelling, and itching at the injection site. They were mainly mild, lasted no more than 3 days, and could be resolved on their own. The main systemic reactions include fever, diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, irritability, etc., which are transient. Although vaccination will make the baby uncomfortable, the results of clinical trials show that there is no significant difference in all symptoms with a severity of level 3 or above (such as fever, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, etc.) compared with the control group. This shows that the enterovirus 71 hand, foot and mouth disease vaccine is very safe.

If parents decide to vaccinate their baby with hand, foot and mouth disease vaccine, they should note that the hand, foot and mouth disease vaccine currently on the market is for infants and children aged 6 months to 3 years old, and it is not recommended for children over 5 years old.
