Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I think it's important to start off, Ms. Combs, by addressing the elephant in the room. There is declining relative demand globally for the AstraZeneca COVID-19 shot. For instance, Africa's most populous country, Nigeria, with a vaccination rate of only 6.5%, still has decided to stop taking AstraZeneca vaccine shots. I wonder if you could tell us if you would recommend the AstraZeneca COVID-19 shot to people who are close to you and under the age of 55, based on the evidence that currently exists.
