1,470 cases of the virus were reported yesterday
A professor of immunovirology says Covid-19 vaccine uptake in the 12-15 year olds is disappointing.
Figures released by the Minister for Health, show 56 per cent of the younger age group have received one dose of a vaccine.
While it's expected the seven millionth dose will be given in the coming days.
It comes as 1,470 cases of the virus were reported yesterday - with 334 patients in hospital, of whom 59 are in ICU.
Professor Liam Fanning, says it's important parents get the right information about vaccinating children:
Ireland can expect the decline in daily covid-19 cases numbers to continue.
The country's five-day moving average of new cases has fallen by 16 per cent in a week to 1,382.
Professor Fanning says increased vaccine uptake will likely see case numbers fall further
