All vaccinations are being recorded. There will be an electronic record for all vaccinations. Critically, when we have the wider roll-out, including to those over 70, for example, that will be electronic.
On disinformation, I agree wholeheartedly with the Deputy and it is something we are taking seriously. In some good news, we got in new research on the public's view of the vaccines. I put the results of same out online yesterday or the day before. It is showing that we were starting from a pretty good position. A majority of people were definitely going to take the vaccine and a lot more people were open to it and were probably going to take it. Those numbers have shifted markedly in the right direction. It has been fantastic for the public to see, right across the healthcare world, such a high demand for the vaccines because ultimately, it is our healthcare professionals and scientists who really know what they are talking about on this stuff.
