Ilya Averbukh with his son Martin Photo:Antenna-Telesem archive “I have a positive attitude towards influenza vaccination,” says the famous athlete and dad of 10-year-old Martin. - Such vaccinations have long become a worldwide practice, their effectiveness has been proven by doctors, and it seems to me that we should not be afraid of them. This applies to both adults and children. Another thing is that parents must be informed when the school is going to be vaccinated. Firstly, some guys may have contraindications, and secondly, it is possible that some of the dads and mothers will want to personally control the process. For example, I always take my son Martin to the clinic myself so that he can be vaccinated there - it’s safer for me and him. Still, I don't want him to participate in the flood vaccination. But in any case, it is necessary to protect the child from the flu. It is always better to prevent disease than to cure it. ”Some people ride the subway wearing antiviral masks and wear them too. Someone laughs, but it doesn't surprise me “But it's not just about vaccinations! - continues Ilya Averbukh. - To strengthen immunity, do not forget to give vitamins to children - this can significantly help in the fight against autumn and winter viruses. Some people ride the subway wearing antiviral masks and wear them too. Someone laughs, but it does not surprise me. In Asian countries, such as Japan or China, this protection is the norm. But in general, I think, parents should not constantly worry that the child might not endlessly tell him about it and wrap him up in a hundred clothes. If you are very afraid of something, it will just be attracted to you. And one more thing: it is believed that children often start to get sick after the holidays they spent in hot countries. I went with Martin several times to have a rest in winter, in particular, to the Maldives. On his return to Moscow, he experienced some stress, but never got sick. Although acclimatization is a serious thing even for me. Therefore, lately, during the winter holidays, I try to go downhill skiing with my son. "
