93.9% of adults in Kildare are fully vaccinated against Covid 19.

That's according to data released by the HSE under Freedom of Information.

The data also shows that 91.6% of all people in Kildare aged 12 and over have completed the vaccination cycle.

When partial vaccination is taken in to account, those proportions rise to 95% and 92.9%, respectively.

Percentage Estimate of Total 12+ years Eligible Population* (n=4,152,710, CSO/HIU 2021 April 2021/H1 estimates) for fully vaccinated by county of residence and age group, end of day, 24/10/2021 at midnight, (n=3,741,721 doses including 1,244 unassigned to a gender)

Percentage Estimate of Total 12+ years Eligible Population* (n=4,152,710, CSO/HIU 2021 April 2021/H1 estimates) for partially vaccinated (1^st dose received regardless of vaccine brand, including Janssen vaccine) by county of residence and age group, end of day, 24/10/2021 at midnight, (n=3,801,472 1^st doses including 1,258 unassigned to a gender)

While round 10 per cent of eligible people in eight counties remain unvaccinated against Covid-19.

New HSE figures show Waterford, Wexford and Carlow have the highest uptake rates.

Stephen Murphy has more details:

"Figures up to the start of last week show Waterford has the highest uptake rate with 96.6 per cent of over 12s fully vaccinated.

It's 96.4 per cent in Carlow, 95 per cent in Wexford and over 94 in Wicklow, Tipperary and Sligo.

Monaghan on 80.9 has the lowest uptake rate followed by Donegal on 81.3 and Laois on 84.7.

Those three counties are also at the bottom of the table when it comes to first doses.

And there are five others - Offaly, Longford, Dublin, Cavan and Kilkenny - where more than 1 in 10 people who are eligible for a vaccine haven't got one. "
