Northern Ireland has reached the milestone of more than one million people having received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine.
It was confirmed today that 1,000,928 people in the region had received at least one jab. First Minister Arlene Foster and Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill said it was a "momentous day". "Today is a hugely significant milestone in our fightback against Covid," Mrs Foster said. "The vaccination is not only a life-saver; it is key to unlocking more freedoms, opening up our economy, and allowing us to do the things we have missed so dearly. "Over the last year, our society has faced a challenge unlike any other, and these have been the most difficult of times for everyone.
