Mae hi wedi bod yn wythnos brysur arall i’n Rhaglen Frechu COVID\-19\. Rwy’n falch o roi gwybod bod 70% o’n poblogaeth oedolion wedi cael dos cyntaf a bod un o bob pedwar oedolyn yng Nghymru wedi cwblhau’r cwrs dau ddos. Mae data a gyhoeddwyd heddiw yn dangos bod ein timau brechu rhagorol nawr wedi darparu 1,785,347 o ddosau cyntaf a 701,099 o ail ddosau. Golyga hyn eu bod wedi darparu cyfanswm o 2,486,446 o frechiadau.


Rydym yn gwneud cynnydd da o ran brechu oedolion iau – mae bron i 70% o bobl yn eu 40au a thros 35% o bobl yn eu 30au wedi cael dos cyntaf. Mae adroddiad brechu manylach Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru hefyd yn dangos bod cynnydd wedi bod ers mis Chwefror yn y gyfran o bobl sydd wedi’u brechu yn yr holl grwpiau economaidd\-gymdeithasol a grwpiau ethnig a nodwyd. Mae bylchau anghydraddoldeb o ran darparu o leiaf un dos o frechlyn COVID\-19 rhwng grwpiau ethnig a grwpiau economaidd\-gymdeithasol ymysg oedolion hŷn yng Nghymru wedi lleihau ers mis Mawrth. Mae gwaith i’w wneud o hyd i gau’r bylchau hyn ymhellach ac, fel y nodir yn ein diweddariadau ar y strategaeth frechu, bydd y rhaglen frechu yn parhau i ganolbwyntio ar hyn.


Hoffwn hefyd roi’r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am gyngor diweddar gan y Cyd\-bwyllgor ar Imiwneiddio a Brechu ynglŷn â menywod beichiog a menywod sy’n bwydo ar y fron, a hefyd bobl a chanddynt systemau imiwnedd sydd wedi gwanhau.


Mae’n bwysig fy mod yn ailadrodd bod y Cyd\-bwyllgor wedi cynghori y dylid cynnig brechlyn i fenywod beichiog yr un pryd â menywod nad ydynt yn feichiog, ar sail eu grŵp oedran a’u grŵp risg glinigol. Erbyn hyn, mae tystiolaeth helaeth ar gael o’r defnydd o’r brechlynnau Pfizer a Moderna yn yr Unol Daleithiau ar ôl eu rhyddhau ar y farchnad, heb unrhyw signalau diogelwch hyd yma. Felly, y brechlynnau hyn yw’r rhai a ffefrir ar gyfer menywod beichiog. Dylai clinigwyr drafod risgiau a manteision brechu â’r fenyw, a dylid dweud wrthi am y dystiolaeth gyfyngedig, ond sy’n dod i’r amlwg, ynghylch diogelwch brechu yn ystod beichiogrwydd. Nid oes angen ichi wneud y penderfyniad ar eich pen eich hun, a byddem yn eich annog i’w drafod â’ch meddyg neu’ch bydwraig. Y cyngor i fenywod beichiog sydd wedi dechrau cael eu brechu gyda’r brechlyn AstraZeneca yw parhau â’u cwrs brechu gyda’r un brechlyn.


Mae pennod 14a y Llyfr Gwyrdd hefyd yn cadarnhau y gall menywod sy’n cynllunio beichiogrwydd, sydd newydd roi geni, neu sy’n bwydo ar y fron gael eu brechu gydag unrhyw frechlyn, yn unol â’u grŵp oedran a’u grŵp risg glinigol.


Mae oedolion sydd ag imiwnedd ataliedig yn ei chael yn anoddach i ymladd heintiau'n naturiol ac maent yn fwy tebygol o gael canlyniadau gwaeth yn dilyn haint COVID\-19\. Mae tystiolaeth gynyddol y gallai brechlynnau COVID\-19 leihau'r siawns i rywun sydd wedi cael ei frechu drosglwyddo'r feirws. Bydd brechu cysylltiadau aelwydydd yn helpu i gyfyngu ar ledaeniad y feirws i’r bobl hyn.


O ganlyniad, mae’r Cyd\-bwyllgor wedi cynghori y dylai pobl dros 16 oed sy'n byw gydag unigolion sydd â systemau imiwnedd sydd wedi gwanhau'n ddifrifol gael cynnig brechiad COVID\-19 fel blaenoriaeth. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru, fel gwledydd eraill y DU, wedi derbyn y cyngor hwn ac mae bellach ffurflen ar\-lein ar gael i unigolion sy’n byw gyda rhywun ag imiwnedd ataliedig ei llenwi.


Bydd diogelwch pobl bob amser yn dod yn gyntaf, a byddwn yn parhau i ddilyn cyngor y Cyd\-bwyllgor. Mae’n bwysig bod pawb yn derbyn eu gwahoddiad i gael brechiad; mae’r Gwasanaeth Iechyd yng Nghymru yn gweithio’n galed i sicrhau bod y brechlyn cywir ar gael ar yr adeg iawn i bob unigolyn. Nid yw byth yn rhy hwyr i rywun yn y grwpiau blaenoriaeth cyntaf ddod ymlaen i gael eu brechu. Mae cynlluniau ar waith bob amser i sicrhau nad oes neb yn cael ei adael ar ôl. Dylai unrhyw rai yng ngrwpiau 1\-9 sydd heb eto glywed am eu hapwyntiad gysylltu â’u bwrdd iechyd. Mae’r manylion llawn ar gael ar wefan Llywodraeth Cymru.

It has been another busy week in our COVID\-19 Vaccination Programme. I am proud to report that 70% of our adult population have had a first dose and one in four adults in Wales have completed the two\-dose course. Data published today shows that our incredible vaccination teams have now administered 1,785,347 first doses and 701,099 second doses, so have administered a total of 2,486,446 vaccinations.


We are making good progress vaccinating younger adults – nearly 70% of people in their 40s and more than 35% of people in their 30s have had a first dose. The enhanced vaccination report from Public Health Wales also shows that coverage of vaccination has increased in all reported socioeconomic and ethnic groups since February. Inequality gaps in coverage of at least one dose of COVID\-19 vaccine between ethnic and socioeconomic groups in older adults in Wales have narrowed since March. There is still work to do to close these gaps further and, as set out in our vaccination strategy updates, this will remain a key focus for the vaccination programme.


I also wanted to provide further updates on recent JCVI advice on pregnant and breastfeeding women and also on people who are immunosuppressed.


It is important that I reiterate that the JCVI have advised that women who are pregnant should be offered vaccination at the same time as non\-pregnant women, based on their age and clinical risk group. There is now extensive post\-marketing experience of the use of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines in the USA with no safety signals so far. These vaccines are therefore the preferred vaccines to offer to pregnant women. Clinicians should discuss the risks and benefits of vaccination with the woman, who should be told about the limited but emerging evidence regarding safety for vaccination in pregnancy. You don’t have to make the decision alone, and we would encourage you talk it through with your doctor or midwife. Pregnant women who commenced vaccination with AstraZeneca, are advised to complete their vaccination course with the same vaccine.


The Green Book chapter 14a also confirms that women who are planning pregnancy, are in the immediate postpartum (having given birth), or are breastfeeding can be vaccinated with any vaccine, in accordance with their age and clinical risk group.


Adults who are immunosuppressed have a weaker immune system to fight infections naturally and are more likely to have poorer outcomes following COVID\-19 infection. There is growing evidence that the COVID\-19 vaccines may reduce the chance of someone who has been vaccinated passing the virus on. Vaccinating household contacts will help limit the spread of the virus to these vulnerable adults.


Consequently the JCVI has advised that people over 16 who live with individuals with severely weakened immune systems should be offered COVID\-19 vaccination as a priority. The Welsh Government, like the other UK nations, has accepted this advice there is now a form online for individuals who are household contacts of someone who is immunosuppressed to complete.


People’s safety will always come first, we continue to follow the advice from the JCVI. It is important for everyone to take up their offer of vaccination; the NHS in Wales is working hard to make available the right vaccine at the right time for all individuals. It is never too late for someone in the first priority groups to come forward for their vaccination, there are always plans in place to ensure that no one is left behind. Anyone in groups 1\-9 that has not yet heard about their appointment should contact their health board.  Full details are available on the Welsh Government’s website.
