Penza explained how to protect children during cold season

With the onset of the cold season, the main childhood illness remains SARS. The Minister of health of Russia Mikhail Murashko in an interview with RIA Novosti stressed: to protect the child from viruses, you can not postpone vaccination.

Vaccinations are the most reliable shield for children and adults in the midst of epidemics. Timely immunization solves several tasks. It helps to avoid health problems, not to get out of the educational process and not to miss school classes.

He also stressed the importance of protecting loved ones. Children communicate with peers and adults, they have a lot of contacts. Therefore, vaccinating a child makes the whole season much easier for the whole family.

Statistics confirm that. Earlier, Rospotrebnadzor reported that only last week in the country recorded more than 635 thousand cases of infection with SARS, influenza and COVID-19. At the same time, the lion’s share of circulating viruses – 96.6% – is accounted for by non-influenza pathogens.
