My girl contracted HFMD a few months ago, now her school has a HFMD outbreak. Is it possible to get HFDM more than once? Should I keep my girl at home instead?

HFMD is caused by certain viruses. It can affect people of all ages, but young children are more susceptible, especially those under 5 years of age. Children may get it more than once. Schools should take precautions when they are informed of confirmed cases of HFMD. They can monitor other children closely and take additional measures to prevent the spread of HFMD.
