The broad intention is that they would receive AstraZeneca. There may be cases where, if there is availability of an mRNA or Janssen vaccine, it can be used. We have received very little Janssen vaccine so far. The Deputy is aware we have started rolling that out now to homeless people, which is really positive to see. It is possible, at the margins, that some people in the group will receive an mRNA or Janssen vaccine based on availability of supply. The numbers are low. The broad thrust is that they will receive the AstraZeneca vaccine.
