Specific prevention for HFMD or other non-polio enterovirus infections is not available, but the risk of infection can be lowered by good hygienic practices. Preventive measures include frequent handwashing, especially after diaper changes, cleaning of contaminated surfaces and soiled items first with soap and water, and then disinfecting them by diluted solution of chlorine-containing bleach (made by mixing approximately ¼ cup of bleach with 1 gallon of water. Avoidance of close contact (kissing, hugging, sharing utensils, etc.) with children with HFMD may also help to reduce of the risk of infection to caregivers.

Overview

Prevention of hand foot mouth disease includes following hygienic measures and avoiding contact with patients with the disease.

Primary prevention

Effective measures for the primary prevention include:[1]

  • Washing hands often with soap and water, especially after changing diapers and using the toilet.[2]
  • Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces and soiled items, including toys first with soap and water, and then disinfecting them by diluted solution of chlorine-containing bleach (made by mixing approximately ¼ cup of bleach with 1 gallon of water.
  • Avoiding close contacts such as kissing, hugging, or sharing eating utensils or cups with people with hand foot and mouth disease.
  • Two inactivated whole EV 71 vaccines are approved by the Chinese FDA in the year 2015 and 2016, are now in the production phase.[3]
  • As hand foot mouth disease occurs in outbreaks, local CDC must be notified regarding the infection to minimize the incidence and the length of the outbreak.[4]
