He assures that “there is still time” to receive an injection in mid-December to protect himself during the holiday period, normally conducive to the spread of the virus. “Just because it’s ten days until Christmas” doesn’t mean it’s too late, she believes.

“However, we know that our health system is very fragile and that if, suddenly, in the middle of the Christmas holidays, many sick people arrive at the services, they will not only be sick, some of whom will be in very serious situations, but also a very strong pressure on the health system,” he says.
