Latest coronavirus update from the Welsh Government (dated yesterday) is:

  • Health Minister Vaughan Gething will today publish the COVID-19 Vaccination Strategy, which sets out three key milestones.
    • It comes as the latest figures show more than 86,000 people have received the vaccine. Wales will publish daily vaccine figures from today.
    • The three milestones set out in the plan are:
      • By mid-February – all care home residents and staff; frontline health and social care staff; everyone over 70 and everyone who is clinically extremely vulnerable will have been offered vaccination.
      • By the Spring – vaccination will have been offered to all the other phase one priority groups. This is everyone over 50 and everyone who is at-risk because they have an underlying health condition.
      • By the autumn – vaccination will have been offered to all other eligible adults in Wales, in line with any guidance issued by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).
