Thierry Prazuck, head of the infectious diseases department at the Orléans hospital

Guest of France Bleu Orléans, Doctor Thierry Prazuck answers our questions on the risk of the third wave of the coronavirus epidemic after the end of the year celebrations, and notes that “is still in the second wave” who does not “not drop as fast as you would like”.

The infectious disease doctor also speaks about the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine which has just been validated by the European health authorities and will arrive in France. He insists on the importance of vaccination (which will begin in nursing homes, with residents) and logistical difficulty in organizing the vaccination campaign, especially because of the vaccine storage conditions.

The 30 m² super-freezer to keep it at -80 degrees will be delivered “early January“at the Orleans hospital, says Dr. Prazuck. He also responds to the subject of the strain of the virus, mutant, discovered in Great Britain: should we be worried?
