Thank you, Llywydd. Last week was a week of real progress and highlights for our successful vaccination programme here in Wales. Members will be aware from my written statement on Saturday that we have now reached the 1 million total doses delivered mark, and this is an incredible achievement. We've reached this milestone in just 12 weeks. I'm tremendously proud of the team who have delivered this landmark. Data published earlier this afternoon shows that at least 933,485 people have now been recorded as having had their first dose of the vaccine and 111,716 have completed their course by having their second dose. That's a total of 1,045,201 vaccines administered by our fantastic vaccination teams across the country. As you can see, we're closing in on having delivered 1 million first doses of the vaccine to people in Wales.
