Seasonal flu vaccination has started in kindergartens and schools. At the same time, parents have a lot of questions. The most frequent of them we asked the head of the Children's polyclinic "Sunny" Olga Mitina.

The issue of planned seasonal vaccination against the flu should be discussed timely with the pediatrician. If the doctor after talking with the parents and examining the child, recommends vaccinating the child, it is better to vaccinate. Unfortunately, the flu vaccine will not protect the child from other respiratory viruses. But with indeed life-threatening flu, the issue will be resolved.
