In France, cold, flu and gastro epidemics are on the increase. Are our immune defenses weakened after Covid-19? Tuesday March 29, journalist and doctor Damien Mascret explains the reasons for this rebound on the 12/13 set. “Our immune system has not weakened, I assure you“, indicates the doctor. Antibodies against Covid-19 have been produced as a result of infections or the vaccine.

Then there is cellular immunity, which is put in place and which protects longer, more durably against serious forms.“, continues Damien Mascret. This immunity is acquired gradually thanks to reminders and reinfections. If the flu no longer circulates, it is because some people have not been vaccinated, and the strains of flu virus are more resistant. “There is a relaxation of barrier gestures, which means that the flu virus circulates a lot“, concludes the journalist.
