Vaccination Update

Drop ins now available for ages 5-11

We now have dedicated drop in sessions for children aged 5-11 to get their first COVID-19 vaccination.  Information on our 5-11 drop in clinics can be found here. 

We understand that some young children may be anxious about coming to an unfamiliar setting to receive their vaccine. Our children’s clinics will be significantly quieter than the booster clinics held during the latter part of 2021, and our experienced staff can take the time to support children and put them at ease, before they receive their vaccine.

We’re encouraging parents and children to make an informed decision about whether to go ahead with vaccination, based on up-to-date information from trusted sources. Public Health Wales have published information on their website to support this.

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has advised that children aged 5-11 should be offered the vaccine to increase protection against potential future waves of COVID-19.

The COVID-19 vaccine has already been offered to all children aged 5 to 11 who are in a clinical risk group, or who are a household contact of someone who is immunosuppressed. Those who have yet to take up this offer are invited to call our COVID-19 Vaccination Contact Centre on 03000 840004.

The end date for first doses for 5-11 years old is 31 August 2022, so if you do want your child to be vaccinated then please do so before then.

There’s still time to get your first second of first booster dose

It’s not too late to get your first, second or booster dose. Those who are eligible for their first, second and first booster dose can attend our COVID-19 vaccination drop in clinics without an appointment. Information about our drop-in clinics across North Wales can be found below. 

If you would prefer to book an appointment, please call the COVID-19 Vaccination contact centre on 03000 840004. Telephone lines are open 8am-6pm Monday to Friday and 9am-1pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
