That point that vaccination saves lives needs to be underscored later on with the HSE as well. We have seen social media used positively, but during this pandemic we have also seen it used negatively in terms of misinformation. I support Ms Clyne's comments on the vaccinations.

In terms of the other services the cancer society provides, fund-raising is a huge component, particularly in regard to research. Has the society put a figure on how much it will be down this year as a result of not being able to avail of funding activities or has the society found alternative methods?
