PYB Health are pleased to be able to reassure our local community that a vaccination program is now under way at all our Surgeries.

We would like to share with you a couple of photos taken at our surgeries ( 14/01/2021) Maureen Carveth receiving her  AstraZeneca vaccine at Oak Tree Surgery & Mrs Burnard receiving her Covid-19 vaccine from Dr Parry at Pencoed New Surgery.

We will be contacting patients, in order of priority, to book vaccination appointments.

Please do not call us – There is a system in place and we WILL call you!

The priority list has been decided by the Joint Committee of Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) at a UK level.

This priority list is as follows:

1. residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
2. all those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers
3. all those 75 years of age and over
4. all those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals
5. all those 65 years of age and over
6. all individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality
7. all those 60 years of age and over
8. all those 55 years of age and over
9. all those 50 years of age and over

Currently our surgeries are limited by vaccine numbers and we are only vaccinating priority 1 and 2 groups.

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advises that the first priorities for the COVID-19 vaccination programme should be the prevention of mortality and the maintenance of the health and social care systems. As the risk of mortality from COVID-19 increases with age, prioritisation is primarily based on age. [source – Public Health Wales]
