There isn't any vaccine for HFMD unfortunately. There are a few products on the market that says it can eliminate HFMD germs e.g. biocair, but honestly, dunno how true. Also, this is only usable at home anyway. There are a few things you can do however. 1. Change clothes and bathe immediately after coming back from school. 2. Keep reminding your child not to put fingers into mouth 3. Sanitise your own home to prevent transmission of germs at home 4. Boost immunity 5. Consider changing centre. Large CC tends to have more outbreaks.
