My reading of the Minister’s answer is that the 700,000 target may now not be met, which is exactly what he has just said. He said last week that we were expecting 600,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine in the first quarter of this year. It is obvious that is not now going to happen. There are media reports that that figure could be as low as one quarter of that 600,000. Can the Minister give the House any information today as to what the estimation is now for the first quarter of this year for the AstraZeneca vaccine?
