I will ask a final question about the long-term roll-out of the vaccine. We are still in the initial roll-out of the first rounds, so it might be premature of me to consider later phases. In the long term, how does Dr. Glynn see the virus being managed and vaccination working out? Is there the potential for the situation to become like the flu vaccine, with large swathes of the population having to get a vaccine regularly? If so, how would its roll-out be managed? Would it be done in pharmacies like the flu vaccine or would it remain with GPs and other health settings?
