Thank you. The difference between the approach now and the numbers of people with the different waves is that back in 2020 people were left completely unprotected—completely unprotected!—because of the bungle in the rollout. What we have now with omicron, is that the vast majority, in fact very high numbers, of people in residential aged care are protected through the vaccination program.
