This week, the main focus is on long-term residential care settings. I think we are covering 367 or 369 individual nursing homes in this seven-day period. As of Sunday next, 69,000 front-line healthcare workers will have been vaccinated, as the Deputy noted. This week, 3,900 of them, or thereabouts, will get their second dose, while others will get their first dose. When we get to Sunday and the numbers are tallied up, it will not be exactly 70,000 and 70,000, but it will be broadly 50:50.
