I am more than happy to get the Deputy a note on that. What I can tell him is that by the end of March, which is in the next five days, we expect to have received in excess of 1.1 million doses. However, I must heavily caveat that statement because the delivery schedules move regularly. The Deputy and I have had this conversation a few times. A large number of vaccines due to come in on 30 March, for example, might come in on 1 or 2 April. Rather than getting too focused on individual days or weeks, which has caused a lot of anxiety for people as they have seen those dates move, we are trying to keep the discussion at a higher level, like what is coming in in March or what is coming in in April.
