Professor Brian MacCraith:

That estimate is highly dependent on the supply of the vaccine. It is based on vaccinating the first cohort on the priority list first and after that, typically one would move on to the next cohort which is the Covid-facing front-line healthcare workers. Again, these are just indicative scenarios and not something we are standing over or making an announcement on at this stage. We are just indicating to the committee that we are working through real data across all of the cohorts and through various potential vaccine arrival schedules. So, for example, if the Moderna vaccine is approved on 12 January, we could start to see a supply of that coming in quite quickly but that is not confirmed yet in terms of any details. All of these factors change the parameters of modelling involved which is why I cannot be definitive-----
