Vaccination centres across Wales are holding walk-in sessions this week in a bid to boost numbers.

Hywel Dda Health Board has announced this afternoon that walk-in sessions will be held throughout the week at the various vaccination centres across Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.

There is no need to contact the health board to book an appointment and if you have already registered using the health board’s online form, you are still welcome to attend the walk-in clinic.

If you have a scheduled appointment, please keep your appointment time.
