I thank Ms O'Connell and Mr. Kiely for their presentations. My questions are directed towards Mr. Kiely. Senator McDowell has covered my first one somewhat. When the vaccines become available, how does Mr. Kiely anticipate their being fairly distributed among member states over the next 18 to 24 months?

Can Mr. Kiely speak to the measures the EU is taking in conjunction with the online platforms to ensure that Covid fact-checking reaches wider audiences? This is in reference to misinformation on Covid-19 being put into the public discourse.
