Waterford based GPs joined Damien to discuss why the county has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, yet our cases of Covid have been soaring.

Dr Austin Byrne from Tramore Medical Centre, and Dr Siobhan Murphy from Murphy Medical in Ardkeen were in studio.

The doctors also focused on how people need to build up to build up antibodies and they can only do that by being vaccinated or contracting the virus.

"If you've had a recent Covid infection or a recent vaccination or better still, if you had both, you've got really high levels of antibodies, but a year later, your antibody level is lower. So you're far more susceptible and it's one of the reasons we're probably going to settle into a very distinct seasonal pattern," Dr Byrne said.

The GPs also discussed how at least 75 percent of children will get Covid this winter.
