Over 340,000 Covid-19 vaccines were administered last week in Ireland, HSE CEO Paul Reid has said. Mr Reid said that in excess of 52,000 vaccines were given on four of the the last seven days.
On Thursday, 59,000 were administered, he said. Yesterday, the Covid-19 vaccine registration portal opened to people in their 30s, starting with people aged 39.
Over 47,000 people aged 39 registered on this portal yesterday, according to Mr Reid. He said: "This week and next will continue at strong levels based on supply.
More to go yet but good progress." The vaccine portal is open for people aged 38 from today and subsequent days will see it open for those aged 37, 36 and then 35.
