‘Dual stream’ for vaccination in North Wales – under 30’s get Pfizer and AstraZeneca for 30-49 year olds
The next stage of the coronavirus vaccine rollout will run in “two streams”, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board have confirmed.
One will deliver the Pfizer vaccine to those under the age of 30, and one will deliver the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine to those aged between 30 and 49.
This comes after a decision to offer the age group an alternative to the Aztrazeneca vaccine where possible.
As a result the health board are exploring how it can administer the Pfizer vaccine through a combination of GP cluster led clinics and health board led Local Vaccination Centres, while continuing to meet the vaccine’s strict handling and storage requirements.

There are, therefore, no ‘hotspots’.” The number of cases locally in the seven day window is recorded as 44 across Wrexham up to the 4th.
