A member asked:

I am 24 weeks pregnant & i am immune to fifths disease, does that mean i am immune to the hand, foot, and mouth disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See note: No. No one is immune to a virus of this nature since a vaccine is not available. It is very uncommon if your an adult and is usually only found in immunocompromised patients if so.
