I appreciate that we are all trying to keep everybody safe. Has NPHET given any consideration to giving Pfizer as a second dose to people who have had AstraZeneca for their first vaccination? In the context of a booster shot, much like the flu vaccination, does Dr. Holohan see us having a yearly one and, if so, could there be a recommendation that Pfizer would be used?

In the context of the earlier question to Dr. Glynn about pilot programmes in aviation, if this committee made a proposal that was passed on to Dr. Holohan as the Chief Medical Officer, what would be his view on that?

I thank all the witnesses for their work in the past year and a half. While we disagree on many things, we also agree on many things. I thank the witnesses for their work on behalf of the people.
