Heddiw, byddaf yn cyhoeddi fersiwn ddiweddaraf ein diweddariadau ar raglen frechu COVID\-19.


Nawr, unwaith yn rhagor, rydym yn gweld cynnydd amlwg mewn achosion o coronafeirws. Er bod is\-deip BA2 o’r amrywiolyn omicron yn lledaenu’n gyflym ym mhob rhan o Gymru ac ym mhob grŵp oedran, rydym yn credu bod difrifoldeb clinigol BA2 yn debyg i’r amrywiolyn omicron gwreiddiol. Golyga hyn mai symptomau ysgafn fydd gan y rhan fwyaf o bobl.


Ond rydym yn cadw golwg gofalus ar lefelau salwch mewn pobl hŷn, a bu cynnydd mewn derbyniadau i’r ysbyty yn ystod yr wythnosau diwethaf.


Yn dilyn cyngor y Cyd\-bwyllgor ar Imiwneiddio a Brechu (JCVI), gwnaethom ddechrau rhoi brechlynnau atgyfnerthu’r gwanwyn ar 12 Mawrth, gan wahodd pobl 75 oed a hŷn, preswylwyr hŷn mewn cartrefi gofal a phobl dros 12 oed sydd â system imiwnedd gwannach na’r cyffredin i gael y brechlyn. Mae pob bwrdd iechyd yn dechrau drwy roi’r brechlyn i’r bobl fwyaf agored i niwed sef y bobl hŷn mewn cartrefi gofal a phobl sy’n gaeth i’w tai.


Rwy’n annog pawb sydd heb gael cwrs llawn y brechlyn i ddod ymlaen i gael eu brechu, gyda dos sylfaenol neu ddos atgyfnerthu. Mae gan fyrddau iechyd sesiynau galw heibio i unigolion 12 oed a hŷn gael eu dos sylfaenol a’u dos atgyfnerthu. Mae hyn yn bwysig iawn gan fod y brechlyn yn cynnig lefel uchel o amddiffyniad yn erbyn y feirws.


Mae byrddau iechyd hefyd yn cynnig y brechlyn cyntaf i bob plentyn rhwng pump ac 11 oed. Bydd angen i riant neu warcheidwad fynd gyda’r plentyn a rhoi caniatâd ar gyfer pob brechlyn. Does dim angen ichi gysylltu â’ch bwrdd iechyd oni bai eich bod angen aildrefnu eich apwyntiad. Does dim blaenoriaeth i wahanol oedrannau, a bydd hyn yn ei gwneud yn haws i frodyr a chwiorydd cymwys gael eu brechu ar yr un pryd.


Mae’r Cyd\-bwyllgor ar Imiwneiddio a Brechu wedi rhoi cyngor interim ychwanegol i weinidogion ei bod yn debygol y bydd brechlyn atgyfnerthu’r hydref yn cael ei argymell ar gyfer pobl sydd mewn perygl uwch o ddioddef salwch difrifol yn sgil COVID\-19\. Bydd y cyngor hwn yn eu galluogi i gynllunio ymlaen llaw. Mae’n rhy fuan i amlinellu manylion penodol y rhaglen, ond bydd y pwyllgor yn rhoi cyngor mwy penodol ymhen amser. Yn y cyfamser, mae ein byrddau iechyd yn cynllunio ar gyfer y posibilrwydd hwn i wneud yn siŵr eu bod yn barod pan ddaw’r amser.


Mae llwyddiant ein rhaglen frechu wedi newid hynt y pandemig er gwell. Mae’r brechlyn yn parhau i fod yn amddiffyniad pwysig yn ein brwydr i reoli coronafeirws a Diogelu Cymru.

Today, I will publish the latest version of our COVID\-19 vaccination programme update.


We are now, once again, seeing a marked increase in cases of coronavirus.  While the BA2 sub\-type of the omicron variant of coronavirus is spreading quickly in all parts of Wales and in all age groups, we believe the clinical severity of BA2 is similar to the original variant of omicron, which thankfully for most people, will mean they will experience mild symptoms. 


But we are watching the levels of illness in older people very carefully and there has been a spike in hospital admissions over the last couple of weeks.


Following the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advice, we begun to roll out the spring boosters on the 12 March, with people aged 75 and over, older care home residents and people over 12 years who are immunosuppressed being invited for their vaccine. All health boards are beginning by vaccinating our most vulnerable in older care homes and who are housebound.


I strongly urge those who have not had their full course to come forward to receive their vaccine whether that is a primary dose or a booster. Health boards continue to have walk\-in sessions for those aged 12 and over for people to come forward for both their primary dose and their booster dose. This is very important as the vaccine offers a high level of protection against the virus.


Health boards are also offering children aged five to 11 years their first vaccination. Parents and guardians will need to accompany the child and provide consent for each vaccine. You do not need to contact your health board unless you need to rebook your appointment. There is no age priority which makes it easier for eligible siblings to be vaccinated at the same time.


The JCVI has provided additional interim advice to ministers for the purposes of forward planning that an autumn booster is likely to be advised for people who are at higher risk of severe COVID\-19\.  It remains too early to set out precise details of what that programme may look like, but the committee will provide more definitive advice in due course. In the meantime, our health boards are planning for this eventuality to ensure they are ready when the time comes.


The success of our vaccination programme has changed the course of the pandemic for the better. The vaccine is still a hugely important defence in our fight keep coronavirus under control and Keep Wales Safe.
