Donegal has vaccine uptake rate of 81.3%

Around 10% of eligible people in eight counties remain unvaccinated against Covid-19.

New HSE figures show Donegal has one of the lowest uptake rates at 81.3%.

However, people availing of the vaccination programme in Northern Ireland may account for a portion of those who did not receive a vaccine in Donegal.

Figures up to the start of last week show Waterford has the highest uptake rate with 96.6% of over 12s fully vaccinated followed by Wexford and Carlow.
