Wales Pfizer Vaccine

Dr Gill Richardson warned there has been a rise in hospitalisations of unvaccinated pregnant women, some of whom have needed intensive care.

Some health boards have begun calling over-16s for their Covid vaccinations after the Welsh Government announced it would start offering the jab to them.

According to Public Health Wales figures, 1,000,706 people are now fully vaccinated and 2,091,824 have had the first dose of the coronavirus jab.
