Carlow has one of the country’s highest vaccine uptakes, while Monaghan and Donegal have the lowest.

That’s according to the Irish Independent which has obtained figures on the county-by-county roll-out.

The paper breaks down the vaccination roll-out per county along with the latest incidence of Covid-19.

It shows, despite having the highest levels of the spread of the virus Monaghan and Donegal have the lowest uptakes of vaccines with just 81 and 83% respectively getting jabbed.

It’s followed by Laois which has 85% of people getting the vaccine.

While the highest uptake is around the south-east with Tipperary, Waterford, Wexford and Carlow all having uptakes of more than 96%, Carlow’s alone is at 97.7%.

Kilkenny is the eighth lowest county on 89.9%.

Sligo, Wicklow and Limerick all have more than 95 opting for a jab.

The figures are based on adults over the age of 18 from a week ago.
