Question:
To ask the Minister of Health when he expects 75 per cent of the population of Northern Ireland to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Answer:

The Covid-19 Vaccination Programme is very much on target for completion of JCVI priority groups 1-9 by Summer 2021. As of 22 February, 468,129 people had received their first dose of vaccine.

Progress through the remainder of the population to be vaccinated will be dependent on vaccine supply and strong uptake of the offer of vaccination.
