Mae’n bwysig bod cyflogwyr ym maes iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yn cydnabod pwysigrwydd cynnig brechiadau rhag y ffliw i ddiogelu staff eu hunain, yn ogystal â’u cleientiaid sy’n agored i niwed. Mewn ymateb i geisiadau gan y Byrddau Iechyd, rydym yn darparu arian ychwanegol, fel bod modd i fwy o adnoddau fynd tuag at frechu gweithwyr gofal iechyd. Rwy’n disgwyl i’r Byrddau Iechyd ddefnyddio’r arian hwn yn effeithiol, er mwyn sicrhau cynnydd sylweddol yn nifer y bobl sy’n cael eu  brechu y tymor hwn.
It is important health and social care employers recognise the importance of providing influenza vaccination to protect their own staff as well as their vulnerable clients. In response to requests from Health Boards, this year we are providing extra funding to enable more resources to be directed towards vaccination of health care workers.  I expect Health Boards to use these funds effectively to produce a significant increase in uptake this season.
