I want to go back to Professor Butler about the issues I raised earlier. Given the public interest in the availability of vaccines, with the momentum that is there now, how much of life and the economy is riding on the vaccine programme? Will she give an indication as to when they are likely to be able to give advice about the Janssen vaccine and also about stretching out the interval between vaccines?

Will Dr. Henry comment on the report on Dealgan House nursing home and the fact that two staff members who were vaccinated have now been diagnosed with Covid? Has that happened before? What are the implications?

If Professor Butler could reply first, I would appreciate it.
