Mae’r bygythiad i unigolion ac i gymunedau iechyd yn sgil COVID-19 yn ei anterth yn ystod tymor y gaeaf – dyna’r sefyllfa o hyd. At ddibenion cynllunio tymor hwy, mae'r Cyd-bwyllgor ar Imiwneiddio a Brechu wedi dweud hefyd yr awgrymir cynnal rhaglen o frechiadau yn hydref 2022 i bobl sydd mewn mwy o berygl o gael salwch difrifol os byddant yn dal COVID-19, fel y rheini sy’n hŷn a’r rheini sy’n perthyn i grwpiau risg clinigol. Bydd union fanylion rhaglen yr hydref ar gael yn ddiweddarach. Wrth i’r pandemig COVID-19 symud ymhellach tuag at fod yn endemig yn y DU, bydd y Cyd-bwyllgor ar Imiwneiddio a Brechu yn parhau i adolygu'r rhaglen frechu ac rwy’n ddiolchgar iddynt am eu cyngor arbenigol.
Winter remains the season when the threat from COVID-19 is greatest both for individuals and for health communities and, for the purposes of longer term planning, the JCVI has also signalled an autumn 2022 programme of vaccinations will be indicated for people who are at higher risk of severe COVID-19, such as those of older age and in clinical risk groups. Precise details of an autumn programme will be made available at a later stage. As the COVID-19 pandemic moves further towards endemicity in the UK, the JCVI will continue to review the vaccination programme and I thank them for their expert advice.
