MORE than 30,000 people in North Wales have received their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Teresa Owen, executive director of Public Health, said on January 19, that in the past week BCUHB had administered the highest number of vaccinations of any Welsh Health Board, which equated to 22 per cent of the cumulative number of first dose vaccines administered in Wales. This compares to 11 per cent of the Welsh total two weeks ago. Ms Owen said: We started this week having vaccinated over 30,000 people since the beginning of the programme. We are confident that we have the capacity and the operational plan in place to meet the first target. This requires more than 184,000 vaccines to be administered before February 14. The only limiting factor will be the access to vaccine supplies.
