At the weekly HSE briefing, Mr Reid said recent Amárach Reseach data shows that the percentage of the population who say they will definitely take a vaccine has increased from 45% in November to 70% today, with an additional 17% saying they will “probably” take a vaccine.
He said the latest social activity measure by the ESRI shows that support for the vaccine remains strong.
He said HPSC data just being finalised shows a “quite extraordinary take-up” throughout the age groups.
“Based on the CSO data that they are working off…for the 85 years plus, 96% have received dose one”, Mr Reid said. “80 to 84, 99% dose one. 70 to 79, 97% , and 74 to 75 is 92%.”
He said 73% of the 60 to 69 group have received dose one, and 26.5% of 50 to 59s, as these cohorts are still receiving vaccines.
