Professor Djillali Annane, head of the hospitalization service at Raymond-Poincaré hospital in Garches, was Bernard Poirette’s guest on Monday, December 28.

British mutant virus: ” the BioNTech laboratory has already started to adapt its vaccine »According to Djillali Annane
Professor Djillali Annane was very satisfied with the launch of vaccination in France this Sunday, December 27, affirming that ” we are entering a new phase “. According to him, ” vaccination is the main weapon against this scourge “. Asked by Bernard Poirette about vaccines, the head of the hospitalization service at Garches hospital declared that he preferred messenger RNA vaccines: ” these vaccines offer the advantage of an easier and faster adaptation in case of mutation of the virus “. Thus, the latter could be effective against the variant of SARS-CoV-2 observed in the United Kingdom.

« German company BioNTech has already started to adapt its vaccine to this strain ”He also specified. Djillali Annane then explained that it was difficult to know if the vaccine would protect against contamination with Covid 19: ” it is not yet a consolidated scientific data “, Adding that” especially helps to avoid serious forms and protect the most fragile », Which is why vaccination started in nursing homes.
Reconfinement: according to Djillali Annane, “ the government must make this difficult decision as soon as possible »
On the skepticism of the French, reluctant to be vaccinated, Djillali Annane explained that ” we have a biased perception of the balance of benefits and risks “. For him, we are too focused on the potential risks of the vaccine. The professor remains convinced, however, that adhesion to vaccination will increase in the coming months and that one of the major challenges will be to ensure that there is no shortage of vaccines.
