The number of people registering for a Covid-19 vaccination has increased, according to the HSE Chief Executive. Paul Reid said registrations have risen from around 1,000 a day to between 2,000-2,500 daily.
He said there are "a range of initiatives over the next week, right throughout Halloween, to get to those people who are unvaccinated and encourage them to come forward". "We would be hopeful that the message is getting through to those people to come forward, get advice and register for the vaccine." The Clinical Nurse Manager and Deputy Lead at the Cork City Hall Vaccination Centre said there has been a noticeable increase in the numbers attending the walk-in clinic at the facility.
