- End of the offer of a universal offer of primary and secondary COVID-19 vaccine dose
Welsh Government has announced that:
- The offer of the initial two dose universal primary course of COVID-19 vaccine, that was offered from December 2020 to all the population aged over 5, will end on 30 June 2023.
- The offer of the universal third booster COVID-19 vaccine dose, offered from autumn 2021 to all the population aged over 5, will end on 31 March 2023.
- Please note that Welsh Government say that people in higher risk groups and people who develop a new health condition which would make them eligible will still be able to receive their booster vaccine, if advised by a doctor or other clinician.
Anyone aged 5 to 49 who has not yet had their primary course of a COVID-19 vaccine however, is encouraged to come forward before these offers end.
