representing the Minister for Health:
Some overseas jurisdictions have
begun to adjust COVID-19 vaccination schedules to actively exclude males aged

reputable new medical data coming from the United States on this matter?
(2) If new data
shows long-term risks to people in this category, will vaccination requirements
be adjusted in response?
