I appreciate the motivation and intention of the Deputy in this regard. Generally speaking, the response has been very positive in respect of applications for the Janssen vaccines at community pharmacies. That is the feedback we are receiving. There has always been a difficulty in endeavouring to differentiate between one sector or group and another. The key issue here is that the roll-out of the vaccination programme in community pharmacies is going very well. Within than framework, it should be possible to cover a lot of people working in the sector to which the Deputy referred.
