My next question is for Mr. O'Connor. Why was it not decided that the booster vaccine dose would automatically go up on the digital Covid certificate? It seems a very obvious thing to do. Is it a technical issue? We have been told the booster dose will make a huge difference in the context of variants such as Omicron and Delta. The witnesses have said the Department is looking at this but why was it not just an automatic decision with regard to the digital certificate?
