This is my home town. I think the 99.7% figure has been overstated. My understanding is that it has been calculated as:

(vaccinations carried out in waterford) / (population of waterford)

Waterford is a regional hub for the south east of Ireland. There are many vaccinations for people who reside outside of Waterford carried out in Waterford, including from counties kilkenny, tipperary and carlow.




British Columbia Public Health had to walk back some stats calculated the same way when the proportion of vaccinated started to go over 100%.


How would you characterize the current “surge” in Waterford?


Things have opened up, cases have gone up. I've heard of one friend of a friend who got covid after vaccination, but no one I personally know in Waterford has got covid post vaccination.
