Given the current health and safety concerns among school staff, will the Welsh Government outline what plans it has to rolling out COVID-19 vaccinations to all school staff as soon as possible?

Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services | Answered on 12/01/2021

Wales, like the other UK nations is vaccinating people who are most at-risk of catching coronavirus and developing serious illnesses first, in line with the recommendations from the JCVI. The position on key workers is unchanged.  Those over 50 or with particular health conditions will be captured within this first phase of vaccination. If large groups of workers were prioritised at an earlier point it would mean other groups who are more vulnerable to harm would have to wait longer.
