Mae’n debygol y gwelwn achosion o'r frech goch yn amlach yng Nghymru oni bai bod camau brys yn cael eu cymryd i gynyddu'r niferoedd sy'n cael brechiad y frech goch, clwy'r pennau a rwbela (MMR) ar hyd a lled y wlad.  
  
Mae Syr Frank yn rhybuddio ei bod yn hanfodol bod y nifer sy'n manteisio ar gwrs llawn (2 ddos) o'r brechlyn MMR yn cynyddu i 95%, y targed a osodwyd gan Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd, i amddiffyn cymunedau Cymru rhag brigiad o achosion a all gael effaith aruthrol.  
  
Mae'r frech goch yn lledaenu'n hawdd iawn ymhlith y rhai sydd heb eu brechu, yn enwedig mewn meithrinfeydd ac ysgolion. Gall plant sy'n dal y clefyd fynd yn sâl iawn ac, mewn rhai achosion, gall y frech goch arwain at orfod mynd i'r ysbyty ac, yn anffodus, mewn achosion prin, gall arwain at farwolaeth.  
  
Mae pobl mewn rhai grwpiau sydd mewn perygl, gan gynnwys babanod a phlant ifanc, menywod beichiog, a phobl ag imiwnedd gwan, yn wynebu mwy o berygl o gymhlethdodau o ganlyniad i'r frech goch.  
  
Mae’r MMR yn rhan o'r Rhaglen Imiwneiddio Rheolaidd i Blant \- gydag un dos yn cael ei gynnig pan fydd plentyn yn flwydd oed ac ail ddos pan fydd yn 3 oed a 4 mis.  
  
Anogir rhieni nad yw eu babanod wedi cael y brechlyn, neu unrhyw un o unrhyw oedran nad yw wedi cael y brechlyn eto, i ddod ymlaen. Mae'r brechlyn MMR am ddim yn ffordd ddiogel ac effeithiol o amddiffyn rhag y frech goch, yn ogystal â chlwy'r pennau a rwbela.  
  
Gydag achosion o'r Pas hefyd ar gynnydd yng Nghymru, mae Syr Frank yn annog pob menyw feichiog a rhieni babanod a phlant ifanc i sicrhau eu bod wedi cael eu brechiadau Pertussis (y Pas).  
  
Er bod y Pas yn glefyd y gellir ei atal drwy frechu, mae'n heintus iawn, gyda babanod o dan 6 mis oed yn wynebu'r risg fwyaf.  
  
Dywedodd Syr Frank:


> *Mae angen i ni sicrhau bod y rhai mwyaf agored i niwed yn ein cymunedau yn cael eu hamddiffyn rhag heintiau feirysol a allai fygwth bywyd, fel y frech goch a'r Pas.*
> 
> *Gall y frech goch wneud plant yn sâl iawn a bydd rhai plant sy'n ei ddal yn dioddef cymhlethdodau sy'n newid bywyd. Gall rhieni ddiogelu eu plant trwy wneud yn siŵr eu bod wedi'u brechu'n llawn. Os nad ydynt, dylid trefnu iddynt gael eu brechu cyn gynted â phosibl.*
> 
> *Ni all babanod o dan un oed gael y brechlyn. Felly, mae'n hanfodol bod pawb sy'n gymwys yn cael eu brechu'n llawn. Bydd hyn yn helpu i atal lledaeniad y frech goch a bydd yn helpu i ddiogelu ein plant ieuengaf.*

Mae'r Dirprwy Brif Swyddog Meddygol, Dr Chris Jones wedi ysgrifennu at bob bwrdd iechyd yn gofyn iddynt gymryd camau ar frys i sicrhau bod o leiaf 90% o fyfyrwyr ym mhob ysgol yng Nghymru wedi'u brechu'n llawn erbyn 31 Gorffennaf 2024\. Bydd yr ymyrraeth hon wedi'i thargedu yn ategu'r gwaith sydd eisoes yn cael ei wneud gan fyrddau iechyd i ddal i fyny ag apwyntiadau i roi'r MMR.  
  
Dywedodd Dr Jones: 


> *Pan fydd brigiad o achosion, gellid gofyn i fyfyrwyr a staff sydd heb eu brechu, neu sydd heb gael dos llawn o'r brechlyn, i ynysu am hyd at 21 diwrnod i atal y clefyd ffyrnig iawn hwn rhag lledaenu.*  
>   
> *Rydyn ni'n gwybod y gall hyn darfu ar addysg a llesiant ein pobl ifanc ac mae'n rhaid i ni wneud popeth posibl i'w osgoi.*  
>   
> *Bydd Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru, y GIG a Llywodraeth Cymru yn gweithio'n agos ar gynlluniau pellach i roi hwb i'r niferoedd sy'n cael yr MMR yn ystod y misoedd nesaf.*

Outbreaks of measles could become more frequent in Wales unless urgent action is taken to increase Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccination across the country.  
  
Sir Frank is warning that it is essential that uptake of a full course (2 doses) of the MMR vaccine is increased to 95%, the target set by the World Health Organisation, to protect Welsh communities from a potentially devastating outbreak.  
  
Measles spreads very easily among those who are unvaccinated, especially in nurseries and schools. Children who contract the disease can become very unwell and, in some cases, measles can lead to hospitalisation and in rare cases, tragically death.  
  
People in certain at\-risk groups including babies and young children, pregnant women, and people with weakened immunity, are at increased risk of complications from measles.  
  
MMR is part of the Routine Childhood Immunisation Programme – with one dose offered when a child is one year old and another second dose at 3 years 4 months.  
  
Parents whose infants missed out, or anyone of any age who has not yet had a vaccine, are urged to come forward. The free MMR vaccine is a safe and effective way of protecting against measles, as well as mumps and rubella.  
  
With whooping cough cases also on the rise in Wales, Sir Frank is encouraging all pregnant women and parents of young babies and children to ensure they’ve had their pertussis (whooping cough) vaccinations.  
  
Although whooping cough is a vaccine preventable disease, it is highly contagious, with babies under 6 months being the most at risk.  
  
Sir Frank said:


> *We need to ensure that those at risk in our communities are protected against potentially life\-threatening viral infections like measles and whooping cough.*
> 
> *Measles can cause children to become very ill and some who contract it will suffer life changing complications. Parents can protect their children by checking they are fully vaccinated and where they are not, arranging for vaccination as soon as possible.*
> 
> *Babies under the age of one, cannot receive the vaccine. It is therefore essential that all those who are eligible, are fully vaccinated. This will help stop the spread of measles and will help protect our youngest children.”*

The Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Dr Chris Jones has written to all health boards asking them to take urgent action to ensure at least 90% of students in every school in Wales is fully vaccinated by 31 July 2024\. This targeted intervention will complement MMR catch\-up work already being undertaken by health boards.  
  
Dr Jones said: 


> *In the event of an outbreak, students and staff who are unvaccinated or under vaccinated could be asked to isolate for up to 21 days to stop the spread of this very virulent disease.*  
>   
> *We know how disruptive this can be to the education and wellbeing of our young people and we must do everything possible to avoid it.*  
>   
> *Public Health Wales, the NHS and the Welsh Government will be working closely on further plans to boost MMR uptake levels in the coming months.*
