Vaccinations and 36 ° C in the shadow

rs. After a quiet weekend this was a stressful day. We had about 50 mothers who came with their babies for a vaccination. The medical team could not even make a lunch break to handle the situation. Some patients waited inside, others preferred to be outside. Our cooking girl brought them some drinking water because the temperature again rose to 36 °C. We hadn't had such a hot summer since 5 years.

Good to know for us Europeans who suffer an especially cold winter with lows of -30 °C. -Editorial note
