My second question relates to front-line workers. Unfortunately, many front-line workers paid the ultimate price for being on the front line and we extend our sympathies to them and their families. A number of front-line workers have also reacted to the vaccines. All vaccines have a potential for reaction, some greater or lesser than others.

How do we deal with a situation whereby a front-line worker has had one dose of the vaccine and is warned not to have another by medical practitioners and experts? How is that being dealt with? What do such people do? Do they continue on or do they exit from the front line? What is the advice? Can we be sure that they are not in any way penalised for being in that category of people who react to the vaccine?
