Wrth inni baratoi ar gyfer y tymor ffliw bob blwyddyn, mae'n bwysig inni sicrhau bod y gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol mor gadarn â phosibl er mwyn eu galluogi i ymdopi'n well yn ystod cyfnodau o bwysau tymhorol eithriadol. Mae staff gofal iechyd y GIG eisoes yn cael cynnig brechiad rhag y ffliw gan eu cyflogwyr fel rhan o wasanaethau iechyd galwedigaethol, gyda mwy a mwy yn derbyn y brechiad o flwyddyn i flwyddyn. Yn ystod tymor ffliw 2017-18, gwelwyd cynnydd o 5% yn nifer staff y GIG a gafodd eu brechu, gyda phedwar bwrdd ac ymddiriedolaeth iechyd yn rhagori ar y targed o 60%. Cafodd y targed ei gynyddu 10% ar gyfer tymor 2017/18, ac mae bellach yn 60%.
As we prepare for the flu season each year, it is important that we maximise resilience within health and social care services to enable them to manage better during times of exceptional seasonal pressure. NHS healthcare staff are already offered flu vaccination by NHS employers as part of occupational health services. Sustained, year on year progress has been made in increasing uptake. During the 2017-18 flu season, vaccination of NHS staff was up by 5%, with four health boards and trusts exceeding the 60% target. The target had been increased by 10% to 60% for the 2017/18 season.
