Earlier this year, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advised that a COVID-19 vaccine should be offered to:
The majority of GP practices and a number of community pharmacies across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire will deliver the COVID-19 spring booster, supported by the health board who will use vaccination centres in Llanelli, Neyland and Cwm Cou, and other community venues as needed.
The COVID-19 spring booster programme will run until 30 June, 2024 with some limited flexibility into July for those who are unable to receive a booster within the main programme window, due to illness.
The COVID-19 spring booster programme will focus on those at highest risk first. Eligible people in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire will be invited to have the COVID-19 spring booster around 6 months after their last dose but it may be given from 3 months following the last vaccine.
Anyone turning 75 years of age between April and June will be called for vaccination during the campaign.
People are asked to wait to be contacted with an appointment, but should anyone have any questions regarding the COVID-19 spring booster and how to access it, please contact Hywel Dda UHB’s communication hub on 0300 303 8322 or ask.hdd@wales.nhs.uk
