Co. WATERFORD has the second highest Covid-19 incidence rate in the country despite the fact that it also has the highest vaccine uptake percentage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

99.7% of all adults in the county have been fully vaccinated against the virus, but according to figures released by the HSE, Waterford’s 14-day incidence rate per 100,000 of population currently stands at 404.6.<\/p>\n

This is topped only by Co. Carlow, with an incidence rate of 405.7 per 100,000 of population.<\/p>\n

Co. Waterford has recorded 470 new cases of Covid-19 in the last week, accounting for nearly 5% of the adult population.<\/p>\n

While vaccination remains an important method of preventing serious illness when contracting Covid-19, it’s notable that Waterford’s high vaccine uptake hasn’t prevented the county from having one of the country’s highest incidence rates.<\/p>\n

Last month, it emerged that Co. Monaghan had the lowest vaccine uptake of any county in Ireland, and simultaneously had the country’s worst 14-day incidence rate.<\/p>\n

As of Monday, 7.2 million doses of the vaccine have been administered in the country.<\/p>\n

74% of Ireland’s total population is now fully vaccinated against the virus, accounting for around 3.7 million people, while 88% of the population eligible for vaccination (over the age of 12) has now been fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n
