A total of 245 administered vaccinations were reported during Epi Week 33, of which 38% (93/245) were fourth doses and 22% (55/245) were paediatric vaccinations.
Key Message
Hospital admissions have started to decline and remain low. Due to changes in testing policy and testing behaviour the reported number of detected cases does not reflect the incidence of COVID-19 in the population. Therefore, whilst testing data will continue to Ье monitored alongside other puЫic health surveillance, reporting
will focus on severe outcomes of COVID-19 hospitalisations and deaths going forwards.
