Mr Reid also said close to 70pc of adults have now received at least one vaccine dose. Half of the adult population are now fully vaccinated against Covid-19, HSE Chief Paul Reid has confirmed this morning. “There are now over 50pc of the adult population fully vaccinated, with 69pc having their Dose 1. We're working hard to protect as many people as quickly as possible,” Mr Reid said on Twitter this morning. Ireland is now hoping to have all adults fully vaccinated in the next eight weeks, with Mr Reid saying last weekend all adults may be finished by the end of August.
