Although the video was recorded early in July, 2020.  But, the answers are still sound and good.  As of today (12/24/2020), both Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines have started being distributed.  With a glimpse of light at the end of tunnel, here we want to remind people that:

“As each country starts to roll out their vaccination program, we must do our bit to reduce the virus population, replication and potential mutations. Our vaccinations will build immunity, but we need to avoid crowds and follow national guidelines on wearing a mask, washing hands and social distancing,” said François Paillier from CircaGene.
