The mass vaccination centre at Holm View Leisure Centre will open on Monday 8 February, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has confirmed.

This is the health board's third mass vaccination centre, after Splott and Pentwyn.

People aged 70-74 and those classed as clinically vulnerable will start to receive appointment invitations by post.

On Monday, the health board announced that all care home residents and staff had received their first dose of the vaccine.

Fiona Kinghorn, Executive Director of Public Health at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, said: "It is remarkable to see the rapid progress made as part of the Health Board's vaccination programme.

"To have the second mass vaccination centre open in addition to the existing mass vaccination centre in Splott, our two satellite clinics for frontline staff and the fantastic work done by GP practices across both counties, we're confident that we can meet our aim of vaccinating the top four priority groups by mid-February.

"Residents aged between 70-74 and those deemed clinically extremely vulnerable will be invited for a vaccination by the Health Board. We ask for your patience at this time and I can reassure you that there is no need to contact your GP practice or the Health Board for an appointment, we will get in touch with you.

"We appreciate this is an anxious time for some. If you have any questions or concerns about the vaccination, or when you're likely to receive your appointment, then please visit our website which has more information on the programme."
