The reason that they're not in the targets is we actually don't have an approved vaccine for them or ATAGI advice to support the rollout of vaccine to them. The Labor Party come in here continuously putting false premises to the parliament, but they are also trying to undermine public confidence in the vaccination rollout program. We continue, as we've done all the way through, to act on the health advice. We don't yet have ATAGI advice with respect to the vaccination of children between the ages of 12 and 15. We are expecting it very soon.
