Since the start of the vaccination programme.
A pharmacy in Baltinglass has administered what appears to be the most Covid vaccines by a single outlet in the country with over 1,600 doses provided since the introduction of the vaccination programme.
According to the Irish Independent, the Baltinglass Pharmacy is part of the McGreals group, which also has a number of outlets in Blessington.
The lead pharmacist Duarte Nunez Da Silva has said he has been greatly encouraged by the uptake locally of both the initial vaccination shots and booster doses.
He said: “We administered over 1,600 Covid vaccines, which has to one of the highest in the country, if not the highest.
"People trust us locally and were happy to be able to receive their vaccinations in a safe and friendly environment they are used to.
"We also administered close to 600 flu vaccines so it has been a busy time for us," he said.
“There is a great sense of community spirit in Baltinglass and I trust the people. The vast majority of people here are protected so I welcome the lifting of the restrictions.
"It’s nice to see some light at the end of the tunnel," he said.
