Public Health Wales have added a “Vaccination” tab to their daily updated dashboard, however it currently details a single overall figure for all of Wales and will be updated weekly.
A note to the overall figure states the actual figure is likely to be higher due to ongoing data entry, and also states the figure contains 282 people who received their vaccines in Wales but are resident outside of the country.

Staff sickness has led to the closure of two NHS birth centres.
Aneurin Bevan University Health Board is temporarily closing its midwife-led birth centres in Newport and Abergavenny from 17 December until 4 January.
A desperate call for extra staff was also issued by Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. Staffing critical care is currently proving extremely challenging for us, it posted on Facebook. Therefore, we are seeking registered nurses, ODPs and paramedics, who would be willing to join us temporarily and on a flexible basis to support with some shifts. We would very much appreciate your help as pressure builds on our services.
