VOLUNTEERS in Cardiff and the Vale are needed to research the effectiveness of having the coronavirus vaccine at the same time as the seasonal flu vaccine. Public Health Wales is recruiting over 18s who have had their first dose of the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine – and who have received an appointment for their second dose at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board’s Bayside Mass Vaccination Centre – to take part in this research study. The Combining Influenza and COVID-19 Vaccination (ComFluCOV) Study, which is being run by the Bristol Trials Centre, sponsored and led by University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW), is currently taking place at 11 sites across the UK.

A health board has asked people not to attend one of its mass vaccination centres without an appointment after an incorrect social media post was shared.
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said people turning up at its Bayside mass vaccination centre were putting additional pressure on staff.
It also asked people to check official information before ringing the vaccination line.
The board said it was now inviting people in their 30s to get jabs.
Please share: We are aware of a social media post saying that people can turn up at Bayside Mass Vaccination Centre to receive their vaccination. This is not true. Please do not attend without an appointment. #CovidVaccine Cardiff & Vale UHB (@CV UHB) April 20, 2021
