A new vaccination centre has opened in Cwmbran town centre to make it easier for people to get life-saving immunisations.
You can find it at 19 – 25 The Parade. It’s open six days a week and staffed by immunisation nurses and practitioners from Aneurin Bevan University Health Board.
Nicola Prygodzicz, Chief Executive Officer for the Health Board said, “Vaccination remains one of the most effective and vital measures in the prevention of infectious diseases and keeping our communities safe. The launch of our new vaccination centre in Cwmbran marks a significant step forward in enhancing our community’s resilience to vaccine-preventable illnesses.
“This investment in public health reaffirms our commitment to equitable healthcare by ensuring that all residents have accessible opportunities to receive a number of different vaccinations.
Additionally, by providing trusted information and support from our experienced healthcare professionals, we are also enabling people to make informed, confident decisions about the health and the well-being of themselves and their loved ones. Although the centre will offer a walk-in service, we do ask our residents to keep any pre-existing vaccination appointment they might have been given.”
Staff can administer a wide range of vaccinations for all age groups including; Covid-19 Boosters, Flu Vaccines, HPV and many others. They can also answer any questions or concerns about vaccination.
Residents will also be able to check their vaccine status and get help with eligibility guidance.
The centre’s services do not replace already established services such as GPs or pharmacies.
