ON SUNDAY 25 July, Northern Ireland surpassed the milestone of 70% of the adult population having been fully vaccinated.
As most of those who wanted the vaccine have already come forward to receive it, there are now worries about the vaccination rate of younger age cohorts.

She said it was a cause of “enormous concern” that the pace of the vaccination programme “went off a cliff” in June when it opened to this younger age group.
