Post Cabinet Statement – Vaccine Programme
As we progress through this pre-recovery phase of the pandemic, we are seeing a welcome reduction in COVID-19 cases, hospitalisations, ICU admissions and deaths.
We have one million children back in the classroom and residential construction is underway. 
The vaccine programme is a key enabler to the reopening of society and the economy. Even with the advices on AstraZeneca and the pausing of Janssen the vaccine programme is well underway.
Last week we passed the milestone of 1m doses administered, with over 19% of those over 16 having received at least one dose of the vaccine.  The benefits of the programme are already being seen, with, for example, significant decreases in cases in healthcare workers and with people living in Nursing Homes.
