I thank Dr. Nabarro. While as politicians, the likelihood is that we will seek to prioritise our constituents, we know, as has been said here this morning and repeatedly over the last weeks and months, that nobody is safe until everybody is safe and that it is not a question of engaging in a type of vaccine nationalism. Unless the EU, US and UN work together to ensure that everybody is lifted and has access to vaccinations, then our constituents will not be safe themselves.
