Key result
EV71 vaccination is linked to prevention of EV71 and other viruses causing HFMD.
Why the study?
Does the EV71 vaccine prevent EV71 and other viruses associated with hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Does the EV71 vaccine prevent EV71 and other viruses associated with hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Real-world time-series analysis supports the effectiveness of the EV71 vaccine in preventing EV71 and associated viruses in hand, foot, and mouth disease.
Supports expanded EV71 programs in endemic regions; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.
: Our findings, based on real-world data, provide evidence of EV71 vaccine effectiveness for preventing EV71 and "other" viruses associated with HFMD. An expanded program of EV71 vaccination is urgently needed.
