Barry s mass vaccination centre CARDIFF and Vale University Health Board is opening a fourth mass vaccination centre. The health board currently has three mass vaccination centres - one in Barry, one in Splott, and one in Pentwyn - and will be opening another Cardiff-based one towards the end of March. They are working in partnership with Cardiff Council and Vale of Glamorgan Council to increase capacity for vaccinations and the new Bayside MVC will enable additional capacity of up to 2,500 vaccines per day, which will be dependent on vaccine supply. The new centre is being developed on the former Toys R Us site at the International Sports Village - this site will be accessible for residents in Eastern Vale and people in Cardiff.
All those in care homes across the Vale have received their first vaccine dose EVERY resident and staff member in care homes across the Vale of Glamorgan and Cardiff has received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccination. Just 23 days after Cardiff and Vale University Health Board started their vaccination programme for care homes, a total of 3,485 employees and 1,609 residents received their first dose of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine. The health board’s mobile vaccination teams visited 123 homes across both counties to administer the vaccine for this priority cohort, in line with the guidance from the Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).
