PTHB COVID-19 Vaccination Stakeholder Bulletin.

We are moving into a very busy period for the COVID-19 vaccination programme in Powys. Our booster programme has begun, vaccination for 12-15 year olds starts this week, and we continue to offer first and second doses for people who have not yet taken up their invitation.

• Booster appointments are under way, and you should expect to receive your invitation letter between 6 to 8 months after your second dose if you are in an eligible group.

• Appointments are under way for people aged 12-15 and you should receive your invitation by the end of October.

• First and second dose appointments are continuing, and you can use our regular drop-in clinics if you have not already taken up the invitation.

• Welsh Government has announced plans to extend the NHS COVID Pass. Remember that it will take at least two months for your NHS COVID Pass to be “double dosed” so it is important to plan ahead.

• COVID-19 infection in pregnancy carries a significant risk of hospital admission and a higher risk of severe illness than for the non-pregnant population. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding you can attend our drop in clinics, or talk to your Powys midwife to find out more about COVID-19 vaccination.

• Our next online Q&A session is taking place on 13 October to answer your questions about COVID-19 in Powys.

• Coronavirus continues to circulate in Powys. Remember … Hands Face Space Fresh Air and Get Tested to Keep Powys Safe.

• You can continue to find all the latest information about COVID-19 vaccination on our website at pthb.nhs.wales/covid-vaccine How are we doing in Powys?
