Please note in the above table, individuals are allocated to one group only, based on their ‘highest’ JCVI priority and they will not appear in more than one group in the table.

The Welsh Government continues to make sure the vaccine is as easy to access as possible for all those who have not yet taken up their first or second doses. We do not want anyone who can have the vaccine to be left behind.
