Heddiw, mae'r Cyd\-bwyllgor ar Frechu ac Imiwneiddio (JCVI) wedi dweud y dylid cynnig trydydd dos o frechlyn COVID\-19 cynradd i unigolion, 12 oed neu hŷn, a oedd yn imiwnoataliedig iawn ar adeg ei dos cyntaf neu ail o’r brechlyn, neu’r ddau. Y rheswm dros hyn yw na fydd rhai unigolion sy’n ddifrifol imiwnoataliedig oherwydd cyflyrau iechyd isorweddol neu triniaethau meddygol penodol yn cyrraedd imiwnedd llawn o ganlyniad i’r ddwy frechiad gyntaf o’r brechlyn COVID\-19\.  Mae angen amddiffyniad ychwanegol ar yr unigolion bregus hyn ac rwy'n croesawu'r cyngor hwn.


Mae cyngor y JCVI yn manylu ar y grwpiau a fydd yn gymwys a bydd ein GIG yng Nghymru yn gweithio'n gyflym i nodi unigolion cymwys y bydd eu Byrddau Iechyd yn cysylltu â nhw. Bydd y penderfyniad ar amseriad y trydydd dos yn bwysig i rai cleifion, a bydd yn cael ei benderfynu gan eu clinigwyr arbenigol. Bydd eu apwyntiad ar adeg briodol yn ystod eu cynllun triniaeth. Nid oes angen cysylltu â'ch bwrdd iechyd na'ch clinigwyr i wirio os yr ydych yn gymwys. Bydd y gwaith yn dechrau ar unwaith i nodi a chynllunio i gleifion gael eu brechu a bydd cyfathrebu gan Fyrddau Iechyd yn dilyn cyn gynted ag y bo'n ymarferol.


Y brechlyn COVID\-19 yw'r ffordd orau o atal salwch difrifol a lledaeniad y feirws. Anogir unrhyw un nad yw wedi cael eu brechlyn eto i fanteisio ar eu cynnig dos sylfaenol cyn inni symud i ddechrau'r ymgyrch atgyfnerthu. Os nad ydych wedi cael eich brechiad eto, gallwch ddod o hyd i ragor o wybodaeth am sut i gael eich brechlyn yma.  


Mae'r datganiad hwn yn cael ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r aelodau. Os bydd aelodau'n dymuno imi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau am y mater hwn pan fydd y Senedd yn dychwelyd, byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.

Today, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) have advised that a third COVID\-19 vaccine primary dose be offered to individuals, aged 12 years and over, who were severely immunosuppressed at the time of either, or both, of their first two vaccine doses. This is because some individuals who are severely immunosuppressed due to underlying health conditions or certain medical treatments may not produce a full immune response to COVID\-19 vaccination.  These individuals need additional protection and I welcome this advice. 


The JCVI advice details the groups who will be eligible and our NHS in Wales will work quickly to identify eligible individuals who will be contacted by their Health Boards. The decision on the timing of the third dose will be important for some patients, and will be determined by their specialist clinicians. Their appointment will be at an appropriate time during their treatment plan. There is no need for patients to contact their health board or clinicians to check eligibility. Work will begin immediately to identify and plan for patients to be vaccinated and communications from Health Boards will follow as soon as practicable.


The COVID\-19 vaccine continues to be the best way to prevent serious illness and the spread of the virus. Anyone who has not had their vaccine yet is urged to take\-up their primary dose offer before we move to begin the booster campaign. If you haven’t yet had your vaccination, you can find more information on how to get your vaccine here.  


This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Senedd returns I would be happy to do so.
