Is there a vaccination avilable today for scarlet fever?
There is no vaccine for Scarlet fever. Avoiding contact with infected persons is the best method of preventing scarlet fever. When a child is sick at home, it is always best to keep the child’s drinking glasses and eating utensils separate from those of other family members. Always wash these items in hot soapy water. Practicing good personal hygiene, such as washing hands thoroughly and often and covering the mouth when coughing or sneezing, helps prevent many types of infections including scarlet fever and other illnesses caused by streptococcal bacteria. And take extra care of kids under 18.
