Regarding vaccine hesitancy, which is an awful phrase, or reluctance, is a new approach being adopted? Mr. Reid mentioned more than 150,000 over-50s in that regard. A number of them might have religious or moral grounds for not taking the vaccine. Within the HSE and some of its service providers, will there be a campaign in respect of those who feel that they still do not have sufficient evidence about vaccination? I have encountered a number of cases where people were reluctant for health reasons or just concerns about getting a vaccine. Will there be a campaign to try to get that cohort vaccinated? We are discussing booster shots and so on, so we want to maximise as much as possible the number of people who have been vaccinated. Some people are concerned about alcohol, foetuses and so on supposedly being used in the vaccines. Will there be a specific campaign to try to bring them on board with the vaccine roll-out?
