| With the ongoing risks posed by COVID-19 and the availability of a vaccine to protect Wales’s most vulnerable citizens (as identified by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation) there is a need to co-ordinate and identify eligible individuals in order to offer them the opportunity to be vaccinated. |
In order to enable this process Welsh ministers have directed Local Health Boards to request GP surgeries to make the following information available to Digital Health and Care Wales (DHCW) for the purpose of identifying priority groups, to send invitations and to book appointments for vaccination, and to manage and monitor immunisations via the Welsh Immunisation System for the Covid vaccination programme.
