What is the vaccine for scarlet fever?

There is no specific vaccine for scarlet fever. However, the bacteria that causes scarlet fever, Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus or GAS), can be treated with antibiotics. Early diagnosis and treatment of strep throat can help prevent complications, including scarlet fever. Some vaccines, such as the measles vaccine, can also help prevent scarlet fever because measles can increase the risk of developing scarlet fever.
