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

New HSE figures show Waterford, Wexford, and Carlow have the highest uptake rates.

Waterford has the highest uptake rate with 96.6% of over-12s fully vaccinated.

It's 96.4% in Carlow, 95% in Wexford, and over 94% in Wicklow, Tipperary, and Sligo.

 

Monaghan on 80.9% has the lowest uptake rate followed by Donegal on 81.3% and Laois on 84.7%.

Those three counties are also at the bottom of the table when it comes to first doses.

And there are five others - Offaly, Longford, Dublin, Cavan, and Kilkenny - where more than 1 in 10 people who are eligible for a vaccine haven't got one.

The HSE is continuing to use pop-up clinics and targeted local campaigns to try and get more people to come forward.

It's also trying to reach people whose first language isn't English to provide information about the vaccination rollout.
