Dr. Colm Henry:

Yes, I have that information. The overall uptake of the Covid-19 vaccine in the 50+ age group is 28% but there is a differential, as we have seen throughout the vaccine programme, for those aged over 70. About half of those people have taken it up. It is important to bear in mind that for three months after an infection, people are advised not to take the vaccine. For those aged between 50 and 69, the take-up is 18%. Most worrying, only one in ten of those who have immunosuppression and are eligible are taking up the vaccine.
