I mean, whenever there is a degree of hesitation about vaccination in any group, you just mentioned, um, the health professionals. It is disturbing.

It is because you feel that things happened too quickly, you can explain that this is really a reflection of the science that has spanned decades ago. So, although in terms of time, it looks like it’s fast. The fact is that there has been a lot of effort and science invested in it, and if it is safe and effective, it is very clearly proven that it is highly effective. Therefore, we must continue to reach out to these people. “
