Mae’n bleser gennyf gadarnhau ‘cyntaf’ arall ar gyfer y rhaglen frechu COVID-19 yng Nghymru. Ddydd Iau yr wythnos diwethaf, ni oedd y wlad gyntaf yn y Deyrnas Unedig i ddechrau brechu plant agored i niwed rhwng 5 ac 11 oed y mae mwy o berygl iddynt, a hynny gyda’r brechlyn pediatrig. Mae plant 5 i 11 oed sy’n byw ar yr un aelwyd â rhywun â system imiwnedd gwan hefyd yn gymwys i gael y brechlyn, a bydd angen llenwi ffurflen i roi gwybod i fyrddau iechyd bod angen apwyntiad arnynt. Mae’r ffurflen ar gaelyma. Rwy’n falch bod gan bawb dros 5 oed yn y teuluoedd hyn nawr fynediad at y brechlyn. Rwyf wedi cael llythyrau gan rieni pryderus felly rwy’n falch y gellir diogelu’r plant hyn.
I am pleased to confirm another first for the COVID-19 vaccination programme in Wales. Last Thursday we were the first UK Nation to begin vaccinating children aged 5 to 11 who are “at risk” with the new paediatric vaccine formulation. Children aged 5-11  who live in a household with someone who is immunosuppressed are also eligible for this vaccine and need to complete a form to let health boards know that they need an appointment. The form is availablehere. I am pleased that these families now have access to the vaccine for all over 5 years. I have received correspondence from concerned parents so I am very pleased that these children can be protected.
