The Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has said that the Covid-19 vaccine is effective and is reducing severe illness from the disease.
In a tweet Dr Holohan said: “Covid-19 vaccines are providing very effective protection from severe illness and have fundamentally changed the risk profile of this disease.”
“Since 1 April, approximately four out of every five people admitted to ICU and approximately three out of every four deaths with Covid-19 were not fully vaccinated.”
“It remains vital that those who have not yet received a Covid-19 vaccine do so at the earliest opportunity.”
“If you are fully protected through vaccination, then you can have confidence that your vaccination, and your continued adherence to the public health advice appropriate to each environment, is the best way you can protect yourself from Covid-19.”
