“Among those who are generally ill, 15% are children, and children of the neonatal period up to four years of age are of particular attention. Therefore, a vaccinated mother, a nursing mother, she thereby passes on protective forces, antibodies [that] pass through breast milk, and thus the child also becomes protected, and close contact between mother and child becomes safer," Murashko said at a briefing.
