Ms Byrne summed it up well. Is the vaccine necessary? Is it effective? Is it safe? A large audience is looking at this programme at the moment and like myself it is made up of people who are rather confused. If I was a gambling person I would recommend going for the vaccine because we push hard. I am a firm believer in the views expressed by Senator John Crown, given all his experience. My questions are for Ms Byrne and Ms Colette Bonner and I call on them to give me their best shot. Why is it necessary? Why is effective? Why is it safe? Perhaps Ms Byrne will answer the question first and then Ms Colette Bonner could answer after that.
