Autumn booster programme 2022
Appointment letters are landing on doorsteps across Cwm Taf Morgannwg as we invite eligible people for their autumn booster (2022).
You will be invited to one of our six community vaccination centres, (click here for more information on our CVCs – Our community vaccination centres)
A booster (single) dose of COVID-19 vaccine will be offered to:
- Residents in a care home for older adults and staff working in care homes for older adults
- Frontline health and social care workers
- All adults aged 50 years and over
- People aged five to 49 years in a clinical risk group
- People aged five to 49 years who are household contacts of people with immunosuppression
- People aged 16-49 who are carers.
In line with advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), eligible adults aged 18+ will be offered either the new Moderna vaccine or the new Pfizer vaccine - both protect from both the original COVID virus and the Omicron variant.
Those eligible aged under 18 will be offered the Pfizer vaccine.
Both vaccines will be offered at least three months after a previous dose.
We appreciate – and totally understand - everyone has really busy lives - but on a vaccination programme of this scale – it would really help us if you can prioritise and stick to the appointment sent to you.
If there is no way you can make that appointment – please click here for how to make changes to your appointment - How to change your autumn booster appointment
Please do not call our community vaccination centres direct. Other services operate out of those buildings and those teams are not able to help you – only our vaccination booking team can change your appointment.
When you get your appointment letter please remember if there is no way you can get to the community vaccination centre allocated to you, there are a couple of options. As stated in your letter, please call our booking team who will be able to talk you through the process for our vaxi-taxi service. This means we may be able to help get you to your appointment.
Drive-thru clinics – we are operating weekly drive-thru clinics. If using our drive-thru would be easier for you, or for whoever may be bringing you to your appointment, please let us know when you get your appointment. Our team will be able to rearrange you a new appointment in one of our drive-thru clinics.
