Northern Ireland has highest Covid infection rate in the UK
might have an effect - but it'll take a few weeks before the figures give any hint of this.
Another - equally accurate - way of looking at the data is that we have many more people in hospital than we did just a month ago, and our death rate hasn't been as high for five months.The DoH's latest figures show that 84.2% of adults in Northern Ireland have had a jab.That said, Northern Ireland has the lowest rate of first dose vaccination in the UK.It's been closed slightly over the past week or two.
This represents a drop since the end of July, but it's still quite an increase in the space of a few weeks - there were 66 Covid-positive inpatients a month previous. It's true that the majority of people in hospital with Covid-19 in Northern Ireland are over the age of 70.As of 5 August, that number was 29 - meaning about 13% of Covid-positive inpatients are aged 20-39.
