Ers dechrau’r pandemig COVID-19 mae’r Cyd-bwyllgor wedi cefnogi ehangu’r rhaglen brechu rhag y ffliw dros dro i’r rhai sydd rhwng 50 a 64 oed i amddiffyn y boblogaeth rhag bygythiad posibl o COVID-19 a’r ffliw yn cylchredeg ac i leihau pwysau ar y GIG. Ar gyfer y tymor presennol, cytunodd y Cyd-bwyllgor y byddai’n dderbyniol brechu’r grŵp hwn, pe bai cyllid ar gael. Yn absenoldeb dadansoddiad effeithiolrwydd costau, mae’r Cyd-bwyllgor wedi argymell yr un dull ar gyfer y tymor nesaf, hynny yw, dylai’r gwledydd frechu pobl sydd rhwng 50 a 64 oed, os oes cyllid ar gael.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic JCVI has been supportive of the temporary expansion of the influenza programme to those aged between 50 and 64 years of age to protect the population from the potential threat of co-circulation of COVID-19 and influenza and alleviate pressure on the NHS. For the current season, the Committee agreed that it would be acceptable to vaccinate this group, if funding was available. In the absence of cost-effectiveness analysis, the Committee has recommended the same approach for next season, that is, nations should vaccinate 50-64 year olds, if funding is available.
