00:00Yeah, so the vaccine really comes about because we've seen ever-increasing numbers of gonorrhea
00:06diagnosis in England. So 2023 was the highest we've seen so far, so 85,000 cases of gonorrhea
00:14in England, which is three times higher than we saw in 2012. And it comes alongside increasing
00:21rates of antibiotic resistance for gonorrhea, which is sort of a big concern into the future.
