Programme Information

As a Health Board, our aim is to vaccinate as many eligible people as quickly and as safely as possible. We are following the Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) priority groups and having now offered the first dose of the vaccine to priority groups 1-9. However, if you are in priority groups 1-9 and have not yet received an appointment for your first dose, please complete our Leave Nobody Behind form and you will be contacted for an appointment. 

Those who are housebound in any of the groups will have their vaccine delivered by our Mobile Vaccination Team. 

We are now prioritising household contacts of adults who are immunosuppressed for vaccination.
