Residents living in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire are being urged to check their vaccination card and come forward this week for their second Moderna vaccine if they are due.
Anyone approaching 8 weeks since a first Moderna dose is being asked to contact the Hywel Dda University Health Board’s vaccine booking team to make an appointment as soon as possible by calling 0300 303 8322 or by emailing COVIDenquiries.hdd@wales.nhs.uk or attend their nearest mass vaccination centre’s walk-in clinic.
Bethan Lewis, Interim Assistant Director of Public Health for Hywel Dda UHB said, “Our mass vaccination centres are contacting people due a second dose of Moderna directly but incase anyone misses a call from us, we want to make sure that everyone due a second dose, especially Moderna, knows we are asking them to come forward as soon as possible.
“Two doses of the vaccine, regardless of which you received, is important for you to receive the best longer-term protection.
“The Moderna vaccine is also available at all walk-in clinics across the three counties and the mobile vaccination van which will be visiting Ammanford’s Tesco store on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 September.”
If you received a first Moderna dose 8 or more weeks ago, you can also attend your local centre without an appointment during the following times:
