Mae ymateb brys o ran iechyd cyhoeddus wedi cael ei gyflwyno yn dilyn gwybodaeth am naw achos o’r frech goch - dau ohonynt wedi’u cadarnhau mewn labordy. Mae’r achosion yn gysylltiedig a Ysgol Cwmtawe yng Nghastell-nedd Port Talbot. Trefnodd Bwrdd Iechyd Abertawe Bro Morgannwg a Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru sesiynau brechu MMR yn yr ysgol i blant ac athrawon ddydd Mawrth 8 Hydref er mwyn lleihau’r perygl o achosion pellach. Yn ôl yr adborth cychwynnol o’r sesiynau hyn - o’r 141 o blant y nodwyd eu bod mewn perygl o gael y frech goch, mae 28 ohonynt wedi cael eu himiwneiddio erbyn hyn a 67 wedi cael eu himiwneiddio yn rhywle arall. Hefyd, cafodd 27 o athrawon eu himiwneiddio. Roedd y gweddill naill ai’n absennol, yn mynd i weld eu meddyg teulu i gael eu himiwneiddio neu wedi gwrthod cael eu himiwneiddio.
An urgent public health response has been put in place following notification of 9 cases of measles of which 2 have been laboratory confirmed associated with Cwmtawe School in Neath Port Talbot.  Abertawe Bro Morgannwg Health Board and Public Health Wales have organised MMR vaccination sessions at the school for children and teachers aimed at reducing the risk of any further cases arising from these notifications. Initial feedback from these sessions, held on Tuesday 8 October, indicates that of the 141 children initially identified as susceptible to measles, 28 children have now been immunised and 67 had been immunised elsewhere. In addition, 27 teachers were also immunised. The remainder were either absent, going to their GPs for vaccination or declined to accept the immunisation.
