There are now over 50% of the adult population fully vaccinated, with 69% had their Dose 1. A total of 4.42M vaccines administered to date with 245,000 completed last week. We’re working hard to protect as many people as quickly as possible. @HSELive

Professor MacCraith who is the Chairman of the vaccination taskforce says “Today is a very significant day in the vaccine rollout. A number of important numbers are reached.
Over 4.4 million doses will have been administered – 2.6 million dose 1’s and I suppose most significantly of all we cross the 1.9 million mark for people fully vaccinated”.
