John Lahart: I thank our witnesses again. It is good to see Dr. Holohan. It is the first time we have seen him for a while. I hope he had some kind of break or respite over the summer.

John Lahart: I look forward to the formal paper Dr. Holohan mentioned. I was interested in the paper from NIAC and the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, RCPI, regarding the length of immunity.
