With the recent increase in Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease cases, here’s some information to help guide you through this tough time. Wash wash wash 🧼

👣✋👄 Hand, Foot, & Mouth Disease (HFMD) is on the rise this year.

If your child is sick with HFMD, keep them home from school or childcare until at least 24 hours after their fever is gone (without fever-reducing medicine). This helps protect other kids and slow the spread.
