Okay. I was interested in the issue.

Will Dr. Glynn give us his thoughts on how taking or refusing the jab could affect employment and access to services? NPHET makes far-reaching recommendations on many matters that affect society's health and the economy. As part of the ongoing roll-out, has it planned or considered a recommendation in respect of those who, for whatever reason, cannot or will not get the jab? Dr. Glynn stated that approximately 80% of the adult population will have to get at least one dose of the vaccine by June to get things moving reasonably, but what recommendations will NPHET make about managing the situation when cohorts of people cannot or will not get vaccinated? I do not necessarily mean a discussion on vaccine passports and so on, but there is a genuine question to be asked about NPHET's recommendations as regards what people, businesses and the Government should do in such circumstances.
