How To Protect Your Child
From An Influenza Attack
We here at the Center for Occupational & Environmental Medicine would like to reiterate our instructions for treating your child for exposure to Influenza.
Try to prevent the effects of exposure by regular preventative use of appropriate doses of vitamin D3 all year round. For younger children, I recommend using the vitamin D3 liquid drops.
