Wales is set to hits target of offering everyone in the four most vulnerable groups a vaccination, it was announced today.
The latest available figures show 684,097 people have received their first dose of the vaccine.
"Arrangements are in place to make sure no one is left behind", the Welsh Government said today – and if someone missed an appointment because they were ill or maybe they changed their mind about having the vaccine, a new appointment will be made for them.
In Hywel Dda, If you are in priority groups 1 to 4 and you haven’t been contacted about your vaccine appointment, you need to get in touch.
If you are aged 75 to 79, are shielding, or work in frontline health, social care or an adult care home, please phone 0300 303 8322 or email [email protected] to book your vaccine.
If you are aged 80 years or older or are aged 70 to 74, please contact your GP practice directly.
First Minister Mark Drakeford said: “Vaccination is the number one priority for the Welsh Government and for the NHS in Wales.
“To have achieved this first milestone and offered vaccination to everyone in the first four priority groups – those who are most vulnerable to coronavirus – is a truly phenomenal effort. I want to thank everyone who has been working around the clock to reach this point.
“Of course, the hard work has only just begun – there are many, many more people to vaccinate yet and a lot of second doses still to give.”
The NHS has confirmed everyone in the first four priority groups has been contacted to be offered a vaccination appointment.
If health boards have been unable to contact someone on the list, or if an appointment has been missed, systems are in place to go back and check and rearrange a new appointment for anyone who wants to be vaccinated.
Health minister Vaughan Gething added: “Every vaccine given to someone in Wales is a small victory against the virus."
