Ilya Averbukh with his son Martin: archive "Antennas - Telesem" "I take a vaccination against the flu positively," says the famous athlete and father of 10-year-old Martin. - Such vaccinations have long become a global practice, their effectiveness is proved by doctors, and it seems to me that we should not be afraid of them. This applies to adults and children alike. It's another matter that parents should be informed when they are going to vaccinate at school. First, some children may have contraindications, and secondly, it is possible that one of the dads and moms will want to personally monitor the process. For example, I always take my son Martin to the polyclinic for him to get vaccinated there - it's so calmer for me and him. Still, I do not want him to participate in the streaming vaccination. But in any case, it is necessary to protect the child from the flu. The disease is always better to prevent than to cure. "Some people ride the subway in antiviral masks and they are also put on their children. Someone laughs, but it does not surprise me "But it's not just about vaccinations! Continues Ilya Averbukh. - To strengthen immunity, do not forget to give children vitamins - this can significantly help in the fight against autumn and winter viruses. Some people go to the subway in antiviral masks and they are also put on their children. Someone laughs, but it does not surprise me. In Asian countries, for example, in Japan or China, such a remedy is the norm. But in general, I think parents should not constantly worry, no matter how the child does not endlessly tell him about it and wrap him in a hundred clothes. If you are very afraid of something, it will just attract you. And more: it is believed that children often begin to get sick after the holidays, which they spent in hot countries. I traveled several times with Martin to rest in the winter, in particular, to the Maldives. He felt certain stress upon his return to Moscow, but he did not hurt at all. Although acclimatization is a serious thing, even for me. Therefore, recently during the winter holidays I try to go skiing with my son on mountain skiing. "
