A further 1,072 Covid-19 cases have been recorded across Northern Ireland in the last 24 hours.
The data was released by the Department of Health (DoH) on Saturday afternoon, September 18.
Six more Covid-related deaths were also reported, with the death toll from the DoH now standing at 2,499.
2,505,003 vaccines have now been administered in total.
And in a "stark illustration of vaccine effectiveness", figures released by Department of Health on Friday, September 17 showed 72% of ICU Covid patients in NI are unvaccinated.
While unvaccinated people make up less than 12% of our adult population, of those currently in ICU wards with Covid, 72% are unvaccinated, 8% have had one dose and 20% have had two doses.
A spokesperson said the vaccine dramatically reduces your likelihood of becoming seriously ill and dying and that the latest data continues to bear this out in frank terms.
Adults who have not had two vaccine doses are more than 5 times as likely to be admitted to hospital, and around 10 times more likely to be admitted to ICU, compared with fully vaccinated adults.
