AstraZeneca was available in that community from 22 March this year, in line with our commitment under the national plan. Pfizer was available in that community from 11 June this year. So vaccines have been available in those communities, as we said we would do. We continue to ramp up the vaccination rollout. As the circumstances in those communities have changed we have added additional support. We have the Royal Flying Doctor Service out there working with us. We have the Defence Force working out there providing additional vaccination clinics. We have continued to support those communities and we will continue to do so.
