HSE on course to deliver 330,000 by weeks end
Over 58,000 Covid-19 vaccines were administered yesterday, a new record in Ireland.
Some good news for Friday. Yesterday we had our highest daily administration of vaccines at over 58,000. On course for up to 330,000 this week. Hospital #Covid19 inpatients down to 52 (24 hospitals with 2 or less), 18 in ICU. As always, let's protect this huge progress @HSELive

Chief Executive of the HSE, Paul Reid, says the health service is on course to deliver 330,000 vaccinations by the end of the week.
Yesterday, it was confirmed that the vaccine portal will be open to 35 to 39 year olds from Sunday.
However, vaccine delivery is expected to be slower as supply lines reduce.
