No, because trench foot is something not treatable by vaccines.
However, we did receive a lot of training in how to avoid and treat it, along with better equipment. Does that count as a “vaccine”?

> No, because trench foot is something not treatable by vaccines.
Isn’t that tautological?
History and the future are full of things that can be treated with a vaccine that were not previously.
Vaccines fundamentally impact viruses. Trench foot is not caused by a virus, or any infection. It’s more akin to frostbite.
We’re really pushing the boundaries of what we can do with vaccines, but the root cause of trench foot is poor circulation, and a vaccine can’t really fix that.
