Thanks @julienpompon.bsky.social for inviting me in wonderful Montpellier. In the oldest faculty of Medicine in the world (A.D. 1220) we talked about our favorite #flavivirus and collaboration between our #HorizonEurope @yellow4flavi.bsky.social and @flavivaccine.bsky.social projects.

“He began to feel that countering anti-vaccine activism was maybe as important as the vaccines he was formulating.” Information, communication, speaking up for what has saved millions of lives is a moral obligation. Not doing so It will affect entire communities with long lasting consequences.

Meet SHIELD ! ✋ Today: The FlavImmunity group at Institut Pasteur uses the yellow fever 17D vaccine as a model to study flavivirus entry, maturation, and antigenicity. research.pasteur.fr/en/team/flav... #Flavivirus #VaccineResearch #StructuralBiology #YellowFever #InstitutPasteur #SHIELDproject

Nice experience at The Conduit discussing the impact of climate change on vector-borne diseases. Many thanks to all involved in the organisation, my fellow panelists @charlottekilpo.bsky.social @samiasaad.bsky.social @mcdonnell.bsky.social @ellenthoen.bsky.social and the UK Pasteur foundation

Lethality for this #YellowFever outbreak remains high (~40%) as already seen in Colombia. #PAHO declared the risk as high because of wide geographical spread (also to non endemic areas) and low vaccine coverage. Surveillance, Vaccination and Communication are much needed for an effective response.

Vaccine hesitancy has been reported by health officials both in Colombia and in Brazil as one of the causes for the spreading of this outbreak. Vaccination is the most efficient way to contain the virus. Thanks Prof.Hotez for putting the spotlight on YF. We need more talk on risks, prevention, etc.
