We have talked about the messaging about immunocompromised people. Dr. Holohan said they should be reasonably safe and that they should be able to live their lives, but there certainly still is a significant amount of fear abroad. It is possibly quite reasonable, since we have come through a very difficult two years. The messaging about people who are immunocompromised has been quite clear. What do we need to do about that? We have students who are unable to attend third level institutions because they are immunocompromised and feel that they cannot do that. We have people who are concerned about work. Could we tease out exactly what the messaging for those people is or what we need to communicate to them about their well-being and safety?
