Thank you very much, Mr President. That's why I sought the clarification, because, obviously, there are different cohorts of children's ages. However, if the senator is referring to 12- to 15-year-olds, I can confirm that this week I confirmed publicly that all participants aged 12 to 15, of whom there are 48,308, were now eligible for the Pfizer vaccination nationwide. Since that announcement—it opened yesterday—we have had already over 1,056 participants in this cohort receive a vaccination.
