I wish to concentrate on those figures now for a couple of minutes. Last year, I understand, we got 1.2 million vaccines. Mr. McCallion is saying that that is now increasing to 1.4 million. That is only an additional 200,000. Given that there are three vaccines for all children up to the age of 12, and given the need to increase the uptake among healthcare workers in particular but also among the general population, how can Mr. McCallion make out that an additional 200,000 is sufficient?
