I welcome the expert witnesses. My question is similar to Deputy Durkan's. I was contacted by a lady this morning who knows I am a member of this committee. She asked me to ask a question on behalf of her husband who is younger than 60 years and is part of the vulnerable cohort. He received the first dose of AstraZeneca and she made it quite clear that he will not take the second dose. Can he get another vaccine? I explained in the best way I could, as a layperson, the evidence relating to clotting, that there were very small numbers and a small percentage and the facts about the people who got the first dose. Her reply was that she knows the science, but that he is not taking the second dose of AstraZeneca. That is my first question.
