My second question is in regard to the administration of the vaccine. I refer to the rate of hourly pay to those who are administering the vaccine. According to what I have in front of me, GPs administering the vaccine will get €120 per hour, pharmacists will get €70 per hour, nurses will get €25 per hour and student nurses on placements in vaccination centres administering the vaccine will get nothing. That seems unfair. Could somebody explain why there is such a disparity between healthcare professionals getting, at one end of the scale, €120, and somebody as a student nurse getting nothing?
